Photosynthesis is central to life on Earth, employing sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to
produce chemical energy and oxygen. It is generally accepted that boosting its efficiency …

The emergence of chlorophyll-containing light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) was a crucial
milestone in the evolution of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. Light-harvesting …

The conversion of solar energy into electrical current by photosynthetic organisms has the
potential to produce clean energy. Life on earth depends on photosynthesis, the major …

Photosynthesis has been using energy from sunlight to assimilate atmospheric CO2 for at
least 3.5 billion years. Through evolution and natural selection, photosynthetic organisms …

In the thylakoid membrane of cyanobacteria and chloroplasts, many proteins involved in
photosynthesis are associated with or integrated into the fluid bilayer matrix formed by four …

Photosystem I (PSI) possesses a variable supramolecular organization among different
photosynthetic organisms to adapt to different light environments. Mosses are evolutionary …

State transition is a fundamental light acclimation mechanism of photosynthetic organisms in
response to the environmental light conditions. This process rebalances the excitation …

Photoenzymes use light to initiate biochemical reactions. Although rarely found in nature,
their study has advanced understanding of how light energy can be harnessed to facilitate …

While light is the driving force of photosynthesis, excessive light can be harmful.
Photoinhibition is one of the key processes that limit photosynthetic productivity. A well …

Mimicking photosynthesis using artificial systems, as a means for solar energy conversion
and green fuel generation, is one of the holy grails of modern science. This perspective …
