The modularity and synthetic flexibility of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have provoked
analogies with enzymes, and even the term MOFzymes has been coined. In this review, we …

Implicit solvation is an effective, highly coarse-grained approach in atomic-scale simulations
to account for a surrounding liquid electrolyte on the level of a continuous polarizable …

Capturing and converting solar energy into fuels and feedstocks is a global challenge that
spans numerous disciplines and fields of research. Billions of years of evolution have …

All cyanobacteria, algae, and plants use a similar water-oxidizing catalyst for water
oxidation. This catalyst is housed in Photosystem II, a membrane-protein complex that …

Background With limited agricultural land and increasing human population, it is essential to
enhance overall photosynthesis and thus productivity. Oxygenic photosynthesis begins with …

The effect of various abiotic stresses on photosynthetic apparatus is inevitably associated
with formation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this review, recent progress on …

This review presents a comprehensive summary of the recent development in semi-artificial
photosynthesis, a biological-material hybrid approach to solar-to-chemical conversion that …

Oxygen is a natural acceptor of electrons in the respiratory pathway of aerobic organisms
and in many other biochemical reactions. Aerobic metabolism is always associated with the …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is the primary solar energy-conversion process that supports much
of life on Earth. It is initiated by photosystem II (PSII), an enzyme that extracts electrons from …

Photosystem II is the water-oxidizing and O2-evolving enzyme of photosynthesis. How and
when this remarkable enzyme arose are fundamental questions in the history of life that …
