Photosystem II: The Light-Driven Water: Plastoquinone
Oxidoreductase. The most mysterious part of photosynthesis, yet, the
most important for all aerobic life on Earth (including ourselves), is how green
plants, algae and cyanobacteria make atmospheric
oxygen from water. This thermodynamically difficult process is only achieved in
Nature by the unique pigment-protein complex known as Photosystem
II, using sunlight to power the reaction. The present volume contains 34
comprehensive chapters authored by 75 scientific experts from around the world.
It gives an up-to-date account on all what is currently known about the
molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics and physiology of Photosystem II. The book is divided into several parts
detailing the protein constituents, functional sites, tertiary structure,
molecular dynamics, and mechanisms of homeostasis. The book ends with a
comparison of Photosystem II with other related
enzymes and bio-mimetic systems. Since the unique water-splitting chemistry,
catalyzed by Photosystem II, leads to the production
of pure oxygen gas and has the potential for making hydrogen gas, a primary
goal of this book is to provide a molecular guide to future protein engineers
and bio-mimetic chemists in the development of biocatalysts for the generation
of clean, renewable energy from sunlight and water.
