The ATP synthases are multiprotein complexes found in the energy-transducing membranes
of bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria. They employ a transmembrane protonmotive …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is the principal converter of sunlight into chemical energy.
Cyanobacteria and plants provide aerobic life with oxygen, food, fuel, fibers, and platform …

This review bridges functional and evolutionary aspects of plastid chromosome architecture
in land plants and their putative ancestors. We provide an overview on the structure and …

The catalytic domain of the F-ATPase in mitochondria protrudes into the matrix of the
organelle, and is attached to the membrane domain by central and peripheral stalks. Energy …

Current proposals to improve photosynthesis to meet our energy and food needs include the
following:(1) improving the performance of Rubisco;(2) decreasing photorespiration by …

The light reactions in photosynthesis drive both linear and cyclic electron transport around
photosystem I (PSI). Linear electron transport generates both ATP and NADPH, whereas PSI …

Photosynthetic electron transport is coupled to proton translocation across the thylakoid
membrane, resulting in the formation of a trans-thylakoid proton gradient (ΔpH) and …

Eleven genes encoding chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex have been
discovered in plastid genomes on the basis of their homology with genes encoding …

Abstract To honor Academician Alexander Abramovitch Krasnovsky, we present here an
educational review on the relation of chlorophyll a fluorescence transient to various …

This review is focused on pH-dependent mechanisms of regulation of photosynthetic
electron transport and ATP synthesis in chloroplasts. The light-induced acidification of the …
