Interaction between tyrosineZ and substrate water in active photosystem II
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2006 In the field of photosynthetic water oxidation it has been under debate whether Tyrosine(Z) (Tyr(Z)) acts as a hydrogen or an electron acceptor from water. In the former concept, direct contact of Tyr(Z) with substrate water has been assumed. However, there is no direct evidence for the interaction between Tyr(Z) and substrate water in active ...

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fragilariopsis cylindrus is a key diatom in the Southern Ocean, where low iron and manganese availability constrain primary production and biogeochemical activity. The molecular mechanisms used by polar diatoms, including F. cylindrus, to cope with trace metal limitations remain largely unexplored.

PhDHS Is Involved in Chloroplast Development in Petunia
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS) is encoded by a nuclear gene and is the key enzyme involved in the post-translational activation of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF5A. DHS plays important roles in plant growth and development.

Paleoproterozic Icehouses and the Evolution of Oxygen Mediating Enzymes: The Case for a Late Origin of Photosystem -- II [PDF]
, 2008 Two major geological problems regarding the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis are: (1) identifying a source of oxygen predating biological oxygen production and capable of driving the evolution of oxygen tolerance, and (2) determining when oxygenic ...
