Chlorophyll a fluorescence is a non-invasive tool widely used in photosynthesis research.
According to the dominant interpretation, based on the model proposed by Duysens and …

Protein oxidation is increasingly recognised as an important modulator of biochemical
pathways controlling both physiological and pathological processes. While much attention …

Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of chlorophyll fluorescence is thought to be an
indicator of an essential regulation and photoprotection mechanism against high-light stress …

Photosystem II (PSII), the thylakoid membrane enzyme which uses sunlight to oxidize water
to molecular oxygen, holds many organic and inorganic redox cofactors participating in the …

Water is clearly important for the functioning of Photosystem II (PSII). Apart from being the
very substrate that needs to be transported in this water oxidation enzyme, water is also vital …

Photosynthesis starts when a pigment in the photosynthetic antennae absorbs a photon. The
electronic excitation energy is then transferred through the network of light-harvesting …

The minor light-harvesting complexes CP24, CP26, and CP29 have been proposed to play
a key role in the zeaxanthin (Zx)-dependent high light-induced regulation (NPQ) of excitation …

Chlorophyll fluorescence induction during 0.4 to 200 ms multiple-turnover pulses (MTP) was
measured in parallel with O 2 evolution induced by the MTP light. Additionally, a saturating …

Chlorophyll fluorescence kinetic studies provide strong evidence for the occurrence of at
least two independent quenching sites, giving rise to non-photochemical quenching of …

In photosynthesis research, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is an indispensable tool to
probe molecular architecture at virtually all levels of structural complexity. At the molecular …
