BACKGROUND The harvesting of photons is the first step in photosynthesis, the biological
process that transforms solar energy into chemical energy. The photosynthetic membranes …

Oxygenic photosynthesis, the process that converts light energy into chemical energy, is
traditionally associated with the absorption of visible light by chlorophyll molecules …

Diatoms are dominant marine algae and contribute around a quarter of global primary
productivity, the success of which is largely attributed to their photosynthetic capacity aided …

INTRODUCTION Photosynthetic organisms contain light-harvesting antenna systems to
gather light energy required for driving photochemical reactions. Diatoms are a group of …

INTRODUCTION Photosystem II (PSII) is a pigment-protein complex and catalyzes light-
induced water splitting in photosynthesis, converting light energy from the Sun into chemical …

Rapid protein degradation and replacement is an important response to photodamage and
a means of photoprotection by recovering proteostasis. Protein turnover and translation …

Plants regulate photosynthetic light harvesting to maintain balanced energy flux into
photosystems I and II (PSI and PSII). Under light conditions favoring PSII excitation, the PSII …

Green algae and plants rely on light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) to collect photon energy
for oxygenic photosynthesis. In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, LHCII molecules associate with …

The chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex is composed of at least 29
subunits and has an important role in mediating photosystem I (PSI) cyclic electron transport …

In plants and green algae, the core of photosystem I (PSI) is surrounded by a peripheral
antenna system consisting of light-harvesting complex I (LHCI). Here we report the cryo …
