In a recent MAS NMR study, two types of histidine residues in the light-harvesting complex II
(LH2) of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila were resolved: Type 1 (neutral) and Type 2 …

Abstract The Zn-BChl-containing reaction center (RC) produced in a bchD (magnesium
chelatase) mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides assembles with six Zn-bacteriochlorophylls …

Of the sunlight incident on the surface of the earth, about 2% is captured and stored by
photosynthetic organisms. This volume describes the many facets of how that process is …

The photosynthetic pigments occur in vivo noncovalently bound to protein, forming two
functionally and spectrally distinct classes of pigment-protein complexes: the photochemical …

Electron spin resonance (ESR) is a spectroscopic technique for the study of paramagnetic
molecules, that is, ones that contain unpaired electron spins. The principle is similar to …

A review is given of primary and associated electron transport reactions in various division of
photosynthetic bacteria and in the two photosystems of plant photosynthesis. Two types of …

Light-induced changes were observed in the infrared spectra of the reaction centers from
Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides in aqueous solutions. These changes were suppressed …

Sublethal effects of an herbicide on the life cycle of a submersed aquatic macrophyte were
investigated. A unique microcosm was designed to accommodate long-term culturing of …

In the agricultural context, wheat is the most important species in the tribe Triticeae. The tribe
represents mutational events which have survived the repeated screening by natural …

Photosynthesis may be defined as the assimilation of CO 2 by plants in light to form
carbohydrates. The basic processes, which are probably similar in all plants, have been …
