Chemists have measured the energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins. They discovered that the disorganized arrangement of light-harvesting proteins boosts the efficiency of the ...

Photosynthesis, the natural process of converting sunlight energy into chemical energy and generating molecular oxygen, is a remarkable natural phenomenon that not only forms the basis for sustaining ...

Photosynthetic processes are fundamental to life on Earth, driving the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy through remarkably organised protein complexes. At the heart of these processes ...

During state transitions, plants regulate energy distribution between photosystems I and II through reversible phosphorylation and lateral migration of the major light-harvesting complex LHCII.

Photosynthesis is a complex process involving several light harvesting complexes and reaction centers, but understanding its fine details has been made more urgent by concerns about greenhouse gases ...

When photosynthetic cells absorb light from the sun, packets of energy called photons leap between a series of light-harvesting proteins until they reach the photosynthetic reaction center. There, ...
