Fatty acid photodecarboxylase (FAP) is one of the few enzymes that require light for their catalytic cycle (photoenzymes). FAP was first identified in the microalga Chlorella variabilis NC64A, and ...

It improves blood glucose levels There’s a reason (actually, many reasons) why spinach is called a diabetic superfood. Just one cup has 40% of your recommended daily serving of magnesium, which can ...

Most cyanobacteria, plus all algae and plants, pack their photosynthetic machinery into stacked membrane sheets called thylakoids: imagine several layers of solar panels. A. panamensis lacks ...

An international team of scientists has solved a key piece of Earth’s evolutionary puzzle by uncovering the structure of a light-harvesting nanodevice in one of the planet’s most ancient ...

Chloroplasts are specialized organelles where photosynthesis occurs, in a highly structured network of membranes, composed of stacked thylakoids interconnected by lamellae. They possess their own ...

Table 1 Photosynthetic parameters of wild-type plants and plants lacking PSI-H or PSI-L Figure 4: Light saturation curve for P700 oxidation in intact leaves. Niyogi, K. K. Photoprotection ...

Plastome-encoded FtsH pt was also found in this fraction to a significant extent as compared with thylakoidal PsaAB, suggesting its dual localization to the envelope and the thylakoids (Fig. 1C). A ...

"That is why the early-branched A. panamensis is so crucial; it lets us glimpse what occurred in the past." Most cyanobacteria, plus all algae and plants, pack their photosynthetic machinery into ...
