Oxygenic photosynthesis is indispensable both for the development and maintenance of life
on earth by converting light energy into chemical energy and by producing molecular …

This review summarizes our current state of knowledge on the structural organization and
functional pattern of photosynthetic water splitting in the multimeric Photosystem II (PS II) …

Figures showing species and properties relevant to non-photochemical quenching
studies.(a) Filamentous planktonic cyanobacteria Dolichospermum crassum and D. flos …

Photosystem II (PSII) is an integral part of the photosynthesis machinery, in which several
light-harvesting complexes rely on inter-complex excitonic energy transfer (EET) processes …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a large multiprotein complex, which catalyses water splitting and
plastoquinone reduction necessary to transform sunlight into chemical energy. Detailed …

The regulation of light-harvesting (called non-photochemical quenching, NPQ) is an
essential photoprotective mechanism active in plants. Total NPQ is dependent on PsbS, a …

Photosystem I (PSI) is a multisubunit protein complex located in the thylakoid membranes of
green plants and algae, where it initiates one of the first steps of solar energy conversion by …

Photosystem II (PSII) has the unique ability to perform water-splitting. With light-harvesting
complexes, it forms the PSII supercomplex (PSII-SC) which is a functional unit that can …

Plants and green algae optimize photosynthesis in changing light conditions by balancing
the amount of light absorbed by photosystems I and II. These photosystems work in series to …

A structure-based modeling and analysis of the primary photophysical reactions in
photosystem II (PS-II) core complexes is presented. The modeling is based on a description …
