In photosynthetic organisms, the production of dangerous oxygen species is stimulated
under high irradiance. To cope with this stress, these organisms have evolved …

Photoprotective mechanisms of cyanobacteria are characterized by several features
associated with the structure of their water-soluble antenna complexes–the phycobilisomes …

Abstract The Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) is a cytosolic photosensor that is responsible
for non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of the light-harvesting process in most …

In cyanobacteria and red algae, the structural basis dictating efficient excitation energy
transfer from the phycobilisome (PBS) antenna complex to the reaction centers remains …

Abstract In Cyanobacteria, the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) and Fluorescence
Recovery Protein (FRP) are central to the photoprotective mechanism consisting in …

The phycobilisome (PBS) is a giant highly-structured pigment-protein antenna of
cyanobacteria and red algae. PBS is composed of the phycobiliproteins and several linker …

Quenching of excess excitation energy is necessary for the photoprotection of light-
harvesting complexes. In cyanobacteria, quenching of phycobilisome (PBS) excitation …

The phycobilisome (PBS) is a major light-harvesting complex in cyanobacteria and red
algae. To obtain the detailed structure of the hemidiscoidal PBS core composed of …

Phycobilisome (PBS) is a giant photosynthetic antenna associated with the thylakoid
membranes of cyanobacteria and red algae. PBS consists of two domains: central core and …

Phycobilisome (PBS) is a giant water-soluble photosynthetic antenna transferring the energy
of absorbed light mainly to the photosystem II (PSII) in cyanobacteria. Under the low light …
