Chlorophylls, Symmetry, Chirality, and Photosynthesis
Chlorophylls are a fundamental class of tetrapyrroles and function as the central reaction center, accessory and photoprotective pigments in photosynthesis. Their unique individual photochemical properties are a consequence of the tetrapyrrole macrocycle, the structural chemistry and coordination behavior of the phytochlorin system, and specific substituent pattern. They achieve their full pote...
متن کاملSymmetry and Chirality: Continuous Measures
Folding Applying a set of inverse symmetry operations on a set of points. This procedure is one of the main steps in the folding unfolding method for evaluating the CSM of a set of points. Folding unfolding method A visual and computational procedure for evaluating the CSM of a set of points. Fuzzy subset A set whose elements have a range of values corresponding to the degree of membership in t...
متن کاملSpatial symmetry breaking determines spiral wave chirality.
Chirality represents a fundamental property of spiral waves. Introducing obstacles into cardiac monolayers leads to the initiation of clockwise-rotating, counterclockwise-rotating, and pairs of spiral waves. Simulations show that the precise location of the obstacle and the pacing frequency determine spiral wave chirality. Instabilities predicted by curves relating the action potential duration...
متن کاملStudies on the Chlorophylls and Photosynthesis of Thermal Algae from Yellowstone National Park, California, and Nevada
1. Myxophyceae normally growing at 65 degrees C. evolved oxygen upon irradiation and showed evidence of retaining the power to carry on the process of photosynthesis at 20 degrees C. This indicates that extra thermal energy is not essential for photosynthesis at least over a short period of time. 2. Chlorophyll a and b found in several species of Myxophyceae growing in waters ranging in tempera...
متن کاملOn the regulation of photosynthesis by excitonic interactions between carotenoids and chlorophylls.
Selective 2-photon excitation (TPE) of carotenoid dark states, Car S(1), shows that in the major light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHCII), the extent of electronic interactions between carotenoid dark states (Car S(1)) and chlorophyll (Chl) states, phi(Coupling)(Car S(1)-Chl), correlates linearly with chlorophyll fluorescence quenching under different experimental conditions. Simultan...
