Sustainable Synthesis, Characterization, Cellular Effects of Gold Nanoparticles and Their Applications as Therapeutics in Cancer Therapy

open access: yesChemPlusChem, EarlyView.
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used in biomedicine, electronics, catalysis, and environmental science. Conventional synthesis relies on harsh chemicals, driving interest in eco‐friendly methods using plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae. Biomolecules like polyphenols, proteins, and fatty acids aid nanoparticle synthesis under mild conditions. This

Models and measurements of energy-dependent quenching. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Energy-dependent quenching (qE) in photosystem II (PSII) is a pH-dependent response that enables plants to regulate light harvesting in response to rapid fluctuations in light intensity.

The Impact of Redox Mediators on the Electrogenic and Physiological Properties of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 in a Biophotovoltaic System

open access: yesChemSusChem, EarlyView.
Redox mediators are essential to promote the electrogenic activity of cyanobacteria in biophotovoltaics. In this work, we systematically evaluates three representative mediators about their influence on the cyanobacterial growth, photosynthetic efficiency, and electrogenic activity. The results reveal distinct impacts of different mediators, despite of

Evolutionary Patterns of Thylakoid Architecture in Cyanobacteria [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
While photosynthetic processes have become increasingly understood in cyanobacterial model strains, differences in the spatial distribution of thylakoid membranes among various lineages have been largely unexplored. Cyanobacterial cells exhibit an intriguing diversity in thylakoid arrangements, ranging from simple parietal to radial, coiled, parallel ...

Engineered Living Energy Materials

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered living energy materials (ELEMs) are nascent research frontier for enabling sustainable energy conversion and storage. These materials exhibit unique characteristics such as self‐regeneration, biodegradability, environmental response, and evolutionary adaptability. This paper overviews different energy conversion bio‐modules, summarizes their

Ultrastructural changes in chloroplasts of mesophyll cells of chlorotic and prematurely yellowed leaves of Betula pendula Rothr

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
The ultrastructure of chloroplasts was studied in mesophyll cells of the leaves of silver birch (Betula pendula) showing interveinal chlorosis or premature yellowing, in comparison with leaves without symptoms or exhibiting symptoms of natural senescence.

Cryo-EM structures of thylakoid-located voltage-dependent chloride channel VCCN1

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
VCCN1 is a plant homolog of bestrophin channels and tunes photoreaction as a voltage-gated anion channel at thylakoids. Here, authors report the cryo-EM structures and functional features of apple VCCN1, with insights into its activation mechanism.

Chloroplast Ca2+ Fluxes into and across Thylakoids Revealed by Thylakoid-Targeted Aequorin Probes [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2018
Chloroplasts require a fine-tuned control of their internal Ca2+ concentration, which is crucial for many aspects of photosynthesis and for other chloroplast-localized processes. Increasing evidence suggests that calcium regulation within chloroplasts also may influence Ca2+ signaling pathways in the cytosol.
