Journal ArticleDOI

Long-lived quantum coherence in photosynthetic complexes at physiological temperature

TL;DR: Evidence that quantum coherence survives in FMO at physiological temperature for at least 300 fs, long enough to impact biological energy transport is presented, proving that the wave-like energy transfer process discovered at 77 K is directly relevant to biological function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secreted Kinase Phosphorylates Extracellular Proteins That Regulate Biomineralization

TL;DR: Fam20C appears to be the Golgi casein kinase that phosphorylates secretory pathway proteins within S-x-E motifs, and is thus a protein kinase dedicated to the phosphorylation of extracellular proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structural basis for the difference in absorbance spectra for the FMO antenna protein from various green sulfur bacteria.

TL;DR: A new analysis of the previously published X-ray data for the Chlorobaculum tepidum FMO shows the presence of a Bacteriochlorophyll-a molecule in an equivalent location but with a chemical attachment from only one side, which is shown to be predictive of the spectral type of the FMO.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane orientation of the FMO antenna protein from Chlorobaculum tepidum as determined by mass spectrometry-based footprinting

TL;DR: A mass spectrometry-based method that probes solvent-exposed surfaces of the FMO by labeling solvent-Exposed aspartic and glutamic acid residues reveals the orientation and provides direct experimental evidence to confirm the overall architecture of the photosystem from Chlorobaculum tepidum and give information on the packing of theFMO protein in its native environment.
