Gene editing using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-
associated proteins (CRISPR/Cas) has revolutionized biotechnology and provides genetic …

Main conclusion The photosystem-II (PSII) repair cycle is essential for the maintenance of
photosynthesis in plants. A number of novel findings have illuminated the regulatory …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multi-subunit protein complex of the photosynthetic electron
transport chain that is vital to photosynthesis. Although the structure, composition, and …

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a widely used object in studies on green algae concerning
both photosynthesis aspects and possible biotechnological approaches. The measurement …

Photosynthetic energy transduction is performed by oligomeric proteins embedded in the
thylakoid membranes. With the exception of the antenna complexes, which exclusively …

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Photosystem II (PSII) is a dimer consisting of at least 13 nuclear-
encoded and four chloroplast-encoded protein subunits that collectively function as a …

Acclimation to different light regimes is at the basis of survival for photosynthetic organisms,
regardless of their evolutionary origin. Previous research efforts largely focused on …

An in silico redesign of the secondary quinone electron acceptor (QB) binding pocket of the
D1 protein of Photosystem II (PSII) suggested that mutations of the F265 residue would affect …

Oxygenic photosynthetic organisms use Photosystem II (PSII) to oxidize water and reduce
plastoquinone. Here, we review the mechanisms by which PSII is assembled and turned …

Plants absorb light energy for photosynthesis via photosystem complexes in their
chloroplasts. However, excess light can damage the photosystems and decrease …
