1. Studies of the two redox active tyrosines in Photosystem II
Sammanfattning : Photosystem II is a unique enzyme which catalyzes light induced water oxidation. This process is driven by highly oxidizing ensemble of four Chl molecules, PD1, PD2, ChlD1 and ChlD2 called, P680. Excitation of one of the Chls in P680 leads to the primary charge separation, P680+Pheo-. LÄS MER
2. EPR Studies of Photosystem II : Characterizing Water Oxidizing Intermediates at Cryogenic Temperatures
Sammanfattning : The principles of natures own light-driven water splitting catalyst, Photosystem II (PSII), can in the future inspire us to use water as electron and proton source to generate light-driven H2 production. To mimic this challenging step, it is important to understand how the enzyme system can oxidize water. LÄS MER
3. The Far-Red Limit of Photosynthesis
Sammanfattning : The photosynthetic process has the unique ability to capture energy from sunlight and accumulate that energy in sugars and starch. This thesis deals with the light driven part of photosynthesis. LÄS MER
4. Photosynthetic water oxidation : the function of two extrinsic proteins
Sammanfattning : The solar energy accumulated by photosynthesis over billions of years is the sole source of energy available on Earth. Photosystem II (PSII) uses the sunlight to split water, an energetically unfavorable reaction where electrons and protons are extracted from water and oxygen is released as a by-product. LÄS MER
5. Trapping Tyrosine Z : Exploring the Relay between Photochemistry and Water Oxidation in Photosystem II
Sammanfattning : Photosystem II is unique! It remains the only enzyme that can oxidize water using light as energy input. Water oxidation in photosystem II is catalyzed by the CaMn4 cluster. The electrons extracted from the CaMn4 cluster are transferred to P680+ via the tyrosine residue D1-Tyr161 (YZ). LÄS MER
