Photosynthetic reaction centres harvest the energy content of sunlight by transporting electrons across an energy-transducing biological membrane. Here we use time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography1 using an X-ray free-electron laser2 to observe light-induced structural changes in the photosynthetic reaction centre of Blastochloris viridis on a timescale of picoseconds. Structural perturbations first occur at the special pair of chlorophyll molecules of the photosynthetic reaction centre that are photo-oxidized by light. Electron transfer to the menaquinone acceptor on the opposite side of the membrane induces a movement of this cofactor together with lower amplitude protein rearrangements. These observations reveal how proteins use conformational dynamics to stabilize the charge-separation steps of electron-transfer reactions.

Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria and their photosynthetic membranes : imaging from macro- to nanoscale
Franz, Ole (2022)While anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophic green or purple bacteria have been extensively researched, little is known about the ubiquity and function of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria in different environments. ... -

H.; Moffat, Keith; Westenhoff, Sebastian; Schmidt, Marius; Stojković, Emina A. (International Union of Crystallography, 2018)Phytochromes are red-light photoreceptors that were first characterized in plants, with homologs in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic bacteria known as bacteriophytochromes (BphPs). Upon absorption of light, BphPs ... -
Sexes in gynodioecious Geranium sylvaticum do not differ in their isotopic signature or photosynthetic capacity
Varga, Sandra; Kytöviita, Minna-Maarit (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2017)In gynodioecious plants, females are expected to produce more or better seeds than hermaphrodites in order to be maintained within the same population. Even though rarely measured, higher seed production can be achieved ... -
