▪ Abstract Stably folded membrane proteins reside in a free energy minimum determined by
the interactions of the peptide chains with each other, the lipid bilayer hydrocarbon core, the …

Carotenoids are, along with chlorophylls, the most abundant pigments found in nature. They
are present in most organisms including humans but can be synthesized only by plants and …

Iron is the quantitatively most important trace metal involved in thylakoid reactions of all
oxygenic organisms since linear (= non-cyclic) electron flow from H 2 O to NADP+ involves …

In plants and cyanobacteria, the primary step in oxygenic photosynthesis, the light induced
charge separation, is driven by two large membrane intrinsic protein complexes, the …

▪ Abstract Helical membrane protein folding and oligomerization can be usefully
conceptualized as involving two energetically distinct stages—the formation and subsequent …

In photosynthesis, light-harvesting chlorophyll molecules are shunted between
photosystems by phosphorylation of the protein to which they are bound. An anchor for the …

Many biologists have dreamt of physically touching and manipulating the biomolecules they
were investigating. With the invention of the atomic force microscope (AFM), this dream has …

The primary processes in all photosynthetic systems involve the absorption of energy from
(sun) light by chromophores in a light harvesting antenna, and the subsequent transfer of …

NADH-quinone1 oxidoreductase (Complex I) isolated from bovine heart mitochondria was,
until recently, the major source for the study of this most complicated energy transducing …

Photosynthesis: Photobiochemistry and Photobiophysics is the first single-authored book in
the Advances in Photosynthesis Series. It provides an overview of the light reactions and …
