This project explores how plants regulate light harvesting to prevent photodamage from sunlight. By studying the conformational changes of light-harvesting complexes, it aims to enhance our understanding of photosynthesis and improve plant resilience to environmental changes.
Sunlight is a source of life for plants but also of photodamage.
To harvest solar energy “safely”, plants have developed a nanoscale mechanism controlled by small proteins which bind pigments, called light-harvesting complexes (LHCs).
At low light intensities, the LHCs harvest and transport solar energy to the sites of photochemistry.
Under intense light, LHCs switch function to dissipate excess energy as heat.
Through this photoprotective switch, the LHCs efficiently protect plants from photoda…
