Role of plastid protein phosphatase TAP38 in LHCII dephosphorylation and thylakoid electron flow. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2010 Short-term changes in illumination elicit alterations in thylakoid protein phosphorylation and reorganization of the photosynthetic machinery. Phosphorylation of LHCII, the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II, facilitates its relocation to ...

Evidence for a chlorophylla/b—protein complex associated with Photosystem II [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1984 A new chlorophylla/b—protein complex designated as LHCPx was separated by SDS—PAGE. This complex differs from the light‐harvesting chla/b—protein of PS II, by its chla/bratio, its fluorescence properties and its apoprotein composition. Evidence is provided that this complex corresponds to a part of PS I antenna.

Photosynthetic Production of Molecular Oxygen by Water Oxidation
Oxygen, 2022 This review deals with the production of oxygen by photo-oxidation of water, which is a topic fitting a journal devoted to oxygen. Most of the present biosphere, including mankind, depends on oxygen. Elucidating the mechanism is of importance for solving

Study of factors controlling the photoprotection capacity of the thylakoid membrane [PDF]
, 2010 PhDPlants require light for the process of photosynthesis, but excess of light absorption can cause photooxidative damage. To avoid this damage, plants have evolved a photoprotective mechanism to dissipate excess light energy as heat in a process ...

Formation of singlet oxygen by decomposition of protein hydroperoxide in photosystem II. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Singlet oxygen (1O2) is formed by triplet-triplet energy transfer from triplet chlorophyll to O2 via Type II photosensitization reaction in photosystem II (PSII). Formation of triplet chlorophyll is associated with the change in spin state of the excited

The Arabidopsis Thylakoid Protein PAM68 Is Required for Efficient D1 Biogenesis and Photosystem II Assembly [PDF]
, 2010 Photosystem II (PSII) is a multiprotein complex that functions as a light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase in photosynthesis. Assembly of PSII proceeds through a number of distinct intermediate states and requires auxiliary proteins.

The Ability of Cyanobacterial Cells to Restore UV-B Radiation Induced Damage to Photosystem II is Influenced by Photolyase Dependent DNA Repair [PDF]
, 2013 Damage of DNA and Photosystem-II are among the most significant effects of UV-B irradiation in photosynthetic organisms. Both damaged DNA and Photosystem-II can be repaired, which represent important defense mechanisms against detrimental UV-B effects ...
