Photosystem II is vulnerable to various abiotic stresses such as strong visible light and heat.
Under both stresses, the damage seems to be triggered by reactive oxygen species, and the …

When oxygenic photosynthetic organisms are exposed to excessive light and/or heat,
Photosystem II is damaged and electron transport is blocked. In these events, reactive …

The D1/D2 heterodimer core is the heart of the photosystem II reaction center. A
characteristic feature of this heterodimer is the differentially rapid, light-dependent …

A common feature of light stress in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria is the light-induced
damage to the photosystem II complex (PSII), which catalyses the photosynthetic oxidation …

Photosynthetic proteins are a source of biological material well-suited to technological
applications. They exhibit light-induced electron transfer across lipid membranes that can be …

The ubiquitous metalloid arsenic (As), which is not essential, can be found extensively in the
soil and subterranean water of numerous nations, raising substantial apprehensions due to …

Action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the isolated D1 protein, a key component of
Photosystem II (PSII) complex, was studied and compared with the effect of high irradiance …

The reaction center of photosystem II is susceptible to photodamage. In particular the D1
protein located in the photosystem II core has a rapid, light‐dependent turnover termed the …

The family of Deg proteases is present in nearly all organisms from bacteria to higher plants.
This family consists of ATP‐independent serine endopeptidases with a catalytic domain of …

We investigated the effect of chromium (20–40 gm− 3, 8–72 h) on the photosystem 2 (PS2)
activities of Chlorella pyrenoidosa cells. By using chlorophyll fluorescence transients …
