Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have reported on the structure and light energy transfer efficiency of a protein ...

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

We are studying biological electron transfer complexes at the single-molecule level to understand the trade-off between specificity and turnover Small diffusible redox proteins play a ubiquitous role ...

"Specifically, can we incorporate environmental effects into these simulations as they play a crucial role in processes essential to life such as photosynthesis and electron transfer in biomolecules?

In photosynthesis, light-harvesting complexes (LHCs ... We use a multi-faceted approach that includes atomic force, electron and fluorescence microscopies in combination with biochemistry and ...

With artificial photosynthesis, scientists mimic nature ... The carbon nitride transfers electron density to the water, forming a hybrid system. "From this point on, the water and the catalyst ...

Photosynthesis supplies our food, oxygen and the currently used energy sources ... We are particularly interested in the link between the light-induced electron transfer and the accompanying ...
