Abstract
Current challenges in photosynthesis: from natural to artificial.
Highlights
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants, algae, cyanobacteria, and anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria capture and store solar energy on a massive scale, in particular via the water-splitting chemistry (Hoganson and Babcock, 1997; Blankenship, 2002; Ferreira et al, 2004; Loll et al, 2005; Yano et al, 2006; Umena et al, 2011)
This book contains 10 chapters and presents recent advances in photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis. It starts with two opinion articles on possible strategies to improve photosynthesis in plants and fascinating mechanisms of unidirectional photodamage of pheophytin in photosynthesis
The book is followed by four review articles that discuss the current state of research on: photosynthetic water oxidation in natural and artificial photosynthesis, as obtained by mass spectrometry (MS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR); functional models of thylakoid lumen; and horizontal gene transfer in photosynthetic eukaryotes
