  1. 21. Hydrogen Bonded Phenols as Models for Redox-Active Tyrosines in Enzymes

    Författare :Josefin Utas; Björn Åkermark; Helena Grennberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electron transfer; photosystem II; radicals; imidazole; hydrogen bonding; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the impact of hydrogen bonding on the properties of phenols. The possibility for tyrosine to form hydrogen bonds to other amino acids has been found to be important for its function as an electron transfer mediator in a number of important redox enzymes.

  3. 22. Functional studies on the Light-harvesting-Like (LiL) Proteins in Cyanobacteria and Cryptophytes

    Författare :Tania Tibiletti; Christiane Funk; Martin Hagemann; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Photosynthesis; cyanobacteria; Guillardia theta; photosystem II; chlorophyll-binding proteins; onehelix LiL proteins; photoprotection; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The light-harvesting like (LiL) proteins are a widely spread group of proteins within photosynthetic organisms. They are membrane proteins composed of one to four transmembrane helices and – in homology to the light-harvesting complexes of algae and higher plants – at least one of these transmembrane helices contains the chlorophyll a/b-binding (CAB) domain.

  4. 23. The Heterocysts of Nostoc punctiforme : From Proteomics to Energy Transfer

    Författare :Tanai Cardona; Ann Magnuson; Matthias Rögner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nostoc punctiforme; heterocyst; photosynthesis; thylakoid; isolation; proteomics; photosystem; energy transfer; hydrogen; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to provide a thorough characterization of the photosynthetic machinery from the heterocysts of Nostoc punctiforme strain ATCC 29133. In this thesis I describe the protocols I have optimized for the isolation of thylakoids from vegetative cells, the purification of heterocysts and the isolation of thylakoids from the purified heterocysts.

  5. 24. Water splitting in natural and artificial photosynthetic systems

    Författare :Sergey Koroidov; Johannes Messinger; Richard J. Debus; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Water splitting; photosystem II; artificial catalyst; MIMS; inorganic carbon;

    Sammanfattning : Photosynthesis is the unique biological process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, for example sugars, using the energy of sunlight. Thereby solar energy is converted into chemical energy. Nearly all life depends on this reaction, either directly, or indirectly as the ultimate source of their food. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Photosynthetic water oxidation : the function of two extrinsic proteins

    Författare :Tatiana Shutova; Göran Samuelsson; Stenbjörn Styring; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photosystem II; Psb0; Cah3; water oxidation; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi;

    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
