Biological water oxidation, performed by a single enzyme, photosystem II, is a central
research topic not only in understanding the photosynthetic apparatus but also for the …

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 …

At the core of many important energy conversion processes in chemistry and biology are
oxidation-reduction reactions in which both electrons and protons are transferred. An …

Life on earth is almost entirely solar-powered. We can get some idea of the enormous
quantity of energy received from the sun by noting that during daylight hours, the sun …

The sunlight-powered oxidation of water by photosystem II (PSII) of algae, plants, and
cyanobacteria underpins the energy conversion processes that sustain most life on our …

The essential involvement of manganese in photosynthetic water oxidation was implicit in
the observation by Pirson in 1937 that plants and algae deprived of Mn in their growth …

Green plants, algae, and some cyanobacteria produce dioxygen by using water as the
electron source for the production of reducing equivalents (NAPDH) and ATP during …

All higher life forms use oxygen and respiration as their primary energy source. The oxygen
comes from water by solar‐energy conversion in photosynthetic membranes. In green …

Photosynthesis is an essential metabolic pathway for plants, contributing to growth and
biomass production. Environmental adverse conditions have a negative impact on …
