Dissecting Bioelectrical Networks in Photosynthetic Membranes with Electrochemistry Photosynthetic membranes contain complex networks of redox proteins and molecules, which direct electrons along various energy-to-chemical interconversion reactions important for sustaining life on Ea...

Our latest paper is out now in @jacs.acspublications.org . In this study we tried to push the limits of #electrochemistry beyond proteins, to studying entire pathways of biological electron transfer ⚑️🦠. Here's a summary 🧡 (1/10)

Flavodiiron proteins associate pH‐dependently with the thylakoid membrane for ferredoxin‐1‐powered O2 photoreduction Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) catalyse light-dependent reduction of oxygen to water in photosynthetic organisms, creating an electron sink on the acceptor side of Photosystem I that protects the photo...

Our paper on how light-induced pH changes control the thylakoid membrane association and activity of flavodiiron proteins in Synechocystis is out @NewPhyt!
