RIKEN researchers have, for the first time, isolated and stabilized the fragile phycobilisome–photosystem II megacomplex in cyanobacteria, revealing two main pathways for transferring light energy ...
RIKEN researchers have found out how light energy harvested by pigments besides chlorophyll is transferred to the molecular ...
Cyanobacteria are some of the oldest and toughest lifeforms on Earth. They’ve been around for over 2 billion years and live just about everywhere – inside Arctic ice, near underwater volcanoes, and ...
Abstract: Phycobiliproteins are brilliant-colored and water-soluble pigment-protein complexes existing widely in cyanobacteria, red algae, and cryptophytes. They function as predominant ...
Among photosynthetic organisms, cyanobacteria deploy uniquely modular solutions for both light harvesting and photoadaptation, resulting in macromolecular antenna complexes that have high subunit ...
Figure 1: Chromophores interspersed in the phycobilisome of cyanobacteria act as tiny antennas, capturing sunlight. The energy is then conveyed to photosystems at the ...
The structure of the "antenna" that a blue-green alga uses to harvest light has been determined by RIKEN researchers and compared with those of four other species. In addition to providing clues about ...
The structure of light-harvesting antennas in a species of cyanobacteria is revealed, yielding insights into energy transfer mechanisms during photosynthesis ...
Department of Chemistry, James Franck Institute and Institute for Biophysical Dynamics, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, United States Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of ...
Life on Earth depends on photosynthesis for the conversion of solar energy to chemical energy. Red algae living in deep water can efficiently use dim and green light that cannot be absorbed by plants ...
