diff raction limit. However, the use of metamaterials in the design of hyperlenses meant losses through dissipation, and in some instances also a narrow operationfrequency range. In their study of acoustic lenses, Li and colleagues provide a slightly diff erent take on the original hyperlens idea by exploiting the diff erences between optical and acoustic waves. For acoustic waves, the wave equ...
متن کاملEvolution of Oxygenic Photosynthesis
The origin of oxygenic photosynthesis was the most important metabolic innovation in Earth history. It allowed life to generate energy and reducing power directly from sunlight and water, freeing it from the limited resources of geochemically derived reductants. This greatly increased global primary productivity and restructured ecosystems. The release of O2 as an end product of water oxidation...
متن کاملWhen did oxygenic photosynthesis evolve?
The atmosphere has apparently been oxygenated since the 'Great Oxidation Event' ca 2.4 Ga ago, but when the photosynthetic oxygen production began is debatable. However, geological and geochemical evidence from older sedimentary rocks indicates that oxygenic photosynthesis evolved well before this oxygenation event. Fluid-inclusion oils in ca 2.45 Ga sandstones contain hydrocarbon biomarkers ev...
متن کاملThe ferredoxin/thioredoxin system of oxygenic photosynthesis.
Forty years ago, ferredoxin (Fdx) was shown to activate fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase in illuminated chloroplast preparations, thereby laying the foundation for the field now known as "redox biology." Enzyme activation was later shown to require the ubiquitous protein thioredoxin (Trx), reduced photosynthetically by Fdx via an enzyme then unknown-ferredoxin:thioredoxin reductase (FTR). These prot...
متن کاملThe origin and evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis.
The evolutionary developments that led to the ability of photosynthetic organisms to oxidize water to molecular oxygen are discussed. Two major changes from a more primitive non-oxygen-evolving reaction center are required: a charge-accumulating system and a reaction center pigment with a greater oxidizing potential. Intermediate stages are proposed in which hydrogen peroxide was oxidized by th...
