1. 1. Violaxanthin De-epoxidase and the Xanthophyll Cycle

   Författare :Anna Gisselsson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant biochemistry; zeaxanthin.; xanthophyll cycle; violaxanthin de-epoxidse; thylakoid; regulation; quenching; protonation; pH-dependence; light stress; histidine; Conformational change; domains; Växtbiokemi;

   Sammanfattning : The xanthophyll cycle is a mechanism for short term adaptation of plants to varying light intensities. It involves a reversible conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, via the intermediate antheraxanthin, upon high light intensities. LÄS MER

3. 2. The xanthophyll cycle, its enzymes, pigments and regulation

   Författare :Marie Eskling Carlsson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zeaxanthin; xanthophyll cycle; violaxanthin de-epoxidase; thylakoid; spinach; regulation; purification; pigments; photoprotection; pH dependence; ascorbate; light stress; Plant biochemistry; Växtbiokemi;

   Sammanfattning : The xanthophyll cycle involves the light-dependent and reversible conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin. Zeaxanthin has been implicated in the protection of the photosynthetic machinery from over-excitation. The enzyme violaxanthin de-epoxidase catalyses the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin.

4. 3. Dissecting the photosystem II light-harvesting antenna

   Författare :Jenny Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant physiology; antisense; Arabidopsis thaliana; chlorophyll; carotenoid; feedback de-excitation; fitness; LHC; NPQ; photosynthesis; state transitions; xanthophyll; Växtfysiologi; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Physiological Botany; fysiologisk botanik;

   Sammanfattning : In photosynthesis, sunlight is converted into chemical energy that is stored mainly as carbohydrates and supplies basically all life on Earth with energy.In order to efficiently absorb the light energy, plants have developed the outer light harvesting antenna, which is composed of ten different protein subunits (LHC) that bind chlorophyll a and b as well as different carotenoids.

5. 4. Xanthophyll Cycle in the Light of Thylakoid Membrane Lipids - Membrane Packing, Curvature Elastic Stress and Enzyme Binding

   Författare :Anna Szilagyi; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; steroider; Lipids; steroids; membranes; Lipider; enzymologi; HPLC; laurdan; fluorescence spectroscopy; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; curvature elastic stress; enzyme binding; thylakoid membrane; membrane fluidity; lipid packing; histidine; VDE; zeaxanthin; xanthophyll cycle; mebran;

   Sammanfattning : The xanthophyll cycle involves the light-dependent and reversible conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin. The enzyme, violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE) catalyses the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, via the intermediate antheraxanthin. VDE is a membrane-hosted enzyme during its activity. LÄS MER

7. 5. The photophysics and functions of some naturally occurring carotenoids

   Författare :Helena Billsten; Kemisk fysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; xanthophyll-binding proteins; vibrational relaxation; light-harvesting complexes; carotenoid aggregates; carotenoids; excited states; femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy; xanthophylls;

   Sammanfattning : Carotenoids are one of the most widespread and important group of pigments in Nature and they can act as light-harvesting agents, photoprotectors and antioxidants. Mechanisms of their multiple functions are not fully understood mainly because their complicated photophysics involving ?dark? excited states. LÄS MER
