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 …

Cyanobacteria are ecologically important photosynthetic prokaryotes that also serve as
popular model organisms for studies of photosynthesis and gene regulation. Both molecular …

Photosystem II (PSII) of photosynthesis catalyzes one of the most challenging reactions in
nature, the light driven oxidation of water and release of molecular oxygen. PSII couples the …

Regulation of function of proteins by phosphorylation of constituent amino acids has been
studied most extensively in enzymes from mammalian cell and tissue extracts. In 1956 …

collection of topics in the field of photosynthesis, serving as an invaluable resource in this …

The principles of chlorophyll fluorescence quenching analysis by the saturation pulse
method are outlined with emphasis on particular aspects encountered in the study of …

The thylakoid membranes of cyanobacteria are the major sites of respiratory electron
transport as well as photosynthetic light reactions. The photosynthetic and respiratory …

The changes in PSII photochemistry in Spirulina platensis cells exposed to salinity stress (0–
0.8 M NaCl) for 12 h were studied. Salinity stress induced a decrease in oxygen evolution …

Photosynthetic membranes are typically densely packed with proteins, and this is crucial for
their function in efficient trapping of light energy. Despite being crowded with protein, the …
