“Anything that exists must be possible.” is often referred to as KE Boulding's First Law. 1 For
example, nanoscale photonic devices exist that harvest light and convert it to …

The essential function of carotenoids in photosynthesis is to act as photoprotective agents,
preventing chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls from sensitizing harmful photodestructive …

Extensively revised, the fourth edition of this highly successful book takes into account the
many newly determined protein structures that provide molecular insight into chemiosmotic …

Rhodopseudomonas palustris is among the most metabolically versatile bacteria known. It
uses light, inorganic compounds, or organic compounds, for energy. It acquires carbon from …

Although Mdm2-mediated ubiquitination is essential for both degradation and nuclear export
of p53, the molecular basis for the differential effects of Mdm2 remains unknown. Here we …

The crystal structure at 4.8 angstrom resolution of the reaction center–light harvesting 1 (RC–
LH1) core complex from Rhodopseudomonas palustris shows the reaction center …

Although iron is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, its concentration in the
aquatic ecosystems—particularly the open oceans—is sufficiently low to limit photosynthetic …

Cyanobacteria are abundant throughout most of the world's water bodies and contribute
significantly to global primary productivity through oxygenic photosynthesis. This reaction is …

The B800-820, or LH3, complex is a spectroscopic variant of the B800-850 LH2 peripheral
light-harvesting complex. LH3 is synthesized by some species and strains of purple bacteria …

We review the factors that control the efficiency of carotenoid-chlorophyll excitation transfer
in photosynthetic light harvesting. For this we summarize first the recently developed theory …
