Energy conversion of sunlight by photosynthetic organisms has changed Earth and life on it.
Photosynthesis arose early in Earth's history, and the earliest forms of photosynthetic life …

Living cells are able to harvest energy by coupling exergonic electron transfer between
reducing and oxidising substrates to the generation of chemiosmotic potential. Whereas a …

Green bacteria are a diverse group of chlorophototrophic organisms belonging to three
major taxa within the domain Bacteria: Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, and Acidobacteria. Most …

Photosynthesis is a complex metabolic process enabling photosynthetic organisms to use
solar energy for the reduction of carbon dioxide into biomass. This ancient pathway has …

This review traces the evolution of the cytochrome bc complexes from their early spread
among prokaryotic lineages and up to the mitochondrial cytochrome bc 1 complex (complex …

The electrochemical parameters of all cofactors in the supercomplex formed by the
Rieske/cytb complex and the SoxM/A-type O 2-reductase from the menaquinone-containing …

Quinol oxidation in the catalytic quinol oxidation site (Qo site) of cytochrome (cyt) bc 1
complexes is the key step of the Q cycle mechanism, which laid the ground for Mitchell's …

Chlorophyll-based phototrophy is performed using quinone and/or Fe-S type reaction
centers,. Unlike oxygenic phototrophs, where both reaction center classes are used in …

Cytochromes of the c‐type contain hemes covalently attached via one or, more generally,
two thioether bonds between the vinyls of heme b and the thiols of cysteine residues of …

Most organisms contain a single Rieske/cytb complex. This enzyme can be integrated in any
respiratory or photosynthetic electron transfer chain that is quinone-based and sufficiently …
