Photoinhibition of Photosystem II

TL;DR: In this chapter, it is shown that the evidence behind the chemistry-based models and the photophysically oriented models can be brought together to build a mechanism that confirms with all types of experimental data.

Glycerolipids in photosynthesis: Composition, synthesis and trafficking

TL;DR: The role of each of these thylakoid glycerolipids in stabilizing protein complexes of the photosynthetic machinery, which might be one of the reasons for their fascinating conservation in the course of evolution is focused on.

Light stress and photoprotection in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

TL;DR: The model unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, employs diverse strategies of regulation and photoprotection to avoid, minimize, and repair photo-oxidative damage in stressful light conditions, allowing for acclimation to different and changing environments.

Three-dimensional structure of cyanobacterial photosystem I at 2.5 Å resolution

TL;DR: The crystal structure of photosystem I from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus described in this paper provides a picture at atomic detail of 12 protein subunits and 127 cofactors comprising 96 chlorophylls, 2 phylloquinones, 3 Fe4S4 clusters, 22 carotenoids, 4 lipids, a putative Ca2+ ion and 201 water molecules.

Protein phosphorylation in regulation of photosynthesis

TL;DR: The structure and function of LHC II, the light-harvesting chlorophyll a / b protein complex, and the regulation of phosphorylation, as well as its function in Photosystem II are studied.

Supramolecular organization of thylakoid membrane proteins in green plants.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the margins, the strongly folded regions of the membranes that connect thegrana, are essentially protein-free, and that protein-protein interactions in the lumen also determine the shape of the grana.

Crystal structure of plant photosystem I

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the complete photosystem I (PSI) is determined from a higher plant to 4.4 Å resolution and provides a framework for exploration not only of energy and electron transfer but also of the evolutionary forces that shaped the photosynthetic apparatus of terrestrial plants after the divergence of chloroplasts from marine cyanobacteria one billion years ago.
