Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions that form C–N bonds have become useful methods to
synthesize anilines and aniline derivatives, an important class of compounds throughout …

Tocopherols, together with tocotrienols and plastochromanols belong to a group of lipophilic
compounds also called tocochromanols or vitamin E. Considered to be one of the most …

Artificial photosynthesis comprises the design of systems for converting solar energy into
useful forms based on the fundamental science underlying natural photosynthesis. There …

Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) is a proxy for photoprotective thermal dissipation
processes that regulate photosynthetic light harvesting. The identification of NPQ …

Photosynthetic organisms protect themselves from high-light stress by dissipating excess
absorbed energy as heat in a process called non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) …

In cyanobacteria, activation of the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) by intense blue-green
light triggers photoprotective thermal dissipation of excess absorbed energy leading to a …

Anion binding has emerged as an attractive strategy to construct supramolecular electron
donor–acceptor complexes. In recent years, the level of sophistication in the design of these …

Here, we propose a possible photoactivation mechanism of a 35-kDa blue light-triggered
photoreceptor, the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP), suggesting that the reaction involves …

Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) provides an essential photoprotection in plants,
assuring safe dissipation of excess energy as heat under high light. Although excitation …

Although significant efforts to produce carotenoid-enriched foods either by biotechnology or
traditional breeding strategies have been carried out, our understanding of how changes in …
