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

The higher plant chloroplast thylakoid membrane system performs the light-dependent
reactions of photosynthesis. These provide the ATP and NADPH required for the fixation of …

Upon transition of plants from darkness to light the initiation of photosynthetic linear electron
transfer (LET) from H2O to NADP+ precedes the activation of CO2 fixation, creating a lag …

The structural dynamics and flexibility of cell membranes play fundamental roles in the
functions of the cells, ie, signaling, energy transduction, and physiological adaptation. The …

The chloroplast thylakoid membrane is the site for the initial steps of photosynthesis that
convert solar energy into chemical energy, ultimately powering almost all life on earth. The …

Acclimatable colors in response to environmental stimuli, which are naturally endowed with
some living things, can provide an opportunity for humans to recognize hazardous …

Membrane proteins evolved to reside in the hydrophobic lipid bilayers of cellular
membranes. Therefore, membrane proteins bridge the different aqueous compartments …

At high temperatures, isoprene‐emitting plants display a higher photosynthetic rate and a
lower nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) compared with nonemitting plants. The …

Photosystem I (PSI) is the dominant photosystem in cyanobacteria and it plays a pivotal role
in cyanobacterial metabolism. Despite its biological importance, the native organization of …

Prochlorococcus is a major contributor to primary production, and globally the most
abundant photosynthetic genus of picocyanobacteria because it can adapt to highly …
