Even though light is the source of energy for photosynthesis, it can also be harmful to plants.
Light-induced damage is targetted mainly to Photosystem II and leads to inactivation of …

three-dimensional models and computational probing of structure–function relations in G …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Light-induced damage of the photosynthetic apparatus in plants is an important
phenomenon that primarily affects the photosystem II complex. Here, we propose a new …

Herbicides have been increasingly used worldwide and a large amount of herbicide residue
eventually enters the ocean via groundwater or surface run-off every year. However, the …

The 4 Å structural model of photosystem I (PSI) has elucidated essential features of this
protein complex. Inter alia, it demonstrates that the core proteins of PSI, PsaA and PsaB …

Photosystem II is a photochemical reaction center that catalyzes the light‐driven oxidation of
water to molecular oxygen. Water oxidation is the distinctive photochemical reaction that …

Filamentous cyanobacteria are the main primary producers in biological desert sand crusts.
The cells are exposed to extreme environmental conditions including temperature, light, and …

Given the tightly packed environment of Photosystem II (PSII), channels are expected to exist
within the protein to allow the movement of small molecules to and from the oxygen evolving …
