Oxygen, which supports all aerobic life, is produced by photosynthetic water oxidation in
plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. The water-oxidation reaction probably first appeared in …

Solar energy has a great potential as a clean, cheap, renewable and sustainable energy
source, but it must be captured and transformed into useful forms of energy as plants do. An …

Photosystem II (PSII) is an integral-membrane, multisubunit complex that initiates electron
flow in oxygenic photosynthesis. The biogenesis of this complex machine involves the …

Far-red light (FRL) photoacclimation in cyanobacteria provides a selective growth
advantage for some terrestrial cyanobacteria by expanding the range of photosynthetically …

Abstract Background Photosystem II (PSII) is the light-driven water: plastoquinone
oxidoreductase of oxygenic photosynthesis and is found in the thylakoid membrane of …

Characterization of the chloroplast proteome is needed to understand the essential
contribution of the chloroplast to plant growth and development. Here we present a large …

In this review we examine the structure and function of the extrinsic proteins of Photosystem
II. These proteins include PsbO, present in all oxygenic organisms, the PsbP and PsbQ …

Plants, algae and cyanobacteria grow because of their ability to use sunlight to extract
electrons from water. This vital reaction is catalysed by the Photosystem II (PSII) complex, a …

Mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, the large-scale analysis of proteins by mass
spectrometry, has emerged as a new technology over the last decade and become routine …

Biogenesis of photosystem II (PSII), nature's water-splitting catalyst, is assisted by auxiliary
proteins that form transient complexes with PSII components to facilitate stepwise assembly …
