The real process, however, by which this result is achieved is quite obscure because we are
not acquainted with any of the chemical intermediates nor with any of the catalysts or …

THE problem of the construction of organic material out of inorganic by green plants in the
presence of light has occupied the attention of chemists, physicists and biologists for over a …

In constructing concepts about photosynthesis I shall use a historical approach. Since I am
not by nature a historian, I have to disclaim any implication that the result will be a valid …

I first went to a scientific meeting as an undergraduate about 1928. The nature of the

It has been realized for a long time that the respiration of plants and animals is accompanied
by transformations of energy, and much has been said about the utility of these changes to …

Progress in photosynthesis research is strongly dependent on instrumentation. It is therefore
not surpr-ing that the impressive advances that have been made in recent decades are …

Historical Perspective. It is proposed to present in this paper a general kinetic mechanism of
photosynthesis which will embody a large number of new and important experimental facts …

The problem of photosynthesis has lately attracted widespread attention. The engineer in
