Combined FTIR and Raman analysis of pollen composition for studying plant adaptation to environmental changes

Kneipp, Janina, Prof. Dr. rer. nat. (Physical Chemistry)

Duration of Project: 01/2014 - 12/2017

The projections of future climate changes and their impact on the development of plant species are limited by incomplete theoretical understanding and insufficient data to improve models. To determine climate-related plant adaptation it is imperative ...

Elucidation of the photo-assembly mechanism of the light-driven water oxidizing complex in photosystem II

Zouni, Athina, PD Dr. (Honorary Chairs / Professors by Special Appointment / Part-Time Lecturers)

Duration of Project: 11/2017 - 12/2018

Oxygen photosynthesis in green plants, algae and cyanobacteria is catalyzed by the two large membrane protein complexes Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII). Both complexes contain a reaction center (RC) that conducts a light-driven charge t ...

Elucidation of the self-repair mechanism of the light-driven water oxidation in photosystem II (PSII): Crystallization of the Mn-depleted PSII and its structural/functional analysis

Zouni, Athina, PD Dr. (Honorary Chairs / Professors by Special Appointment / Part-Time Lecturers)

Duration of Project: 11/2012 - 10/2017

Photosystem II (PSII) of oxygenic photosynthesis has the unique capability of utilizing visible light to oxidize water at the Mn4CaO5-cluster (the water oxidizing complex, WOC). Important progress in elucidating the molecular structure of the WOC has ...

The functional impact of co- and post-translational N-terminal protein modifications in the chloroplast under stresses.

Grimm, Bernhard, Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Prof. Dr. (Plant Physiology)

Duration of Project: 01/2021 - 12/2023

Chloroplasts primarily function as bioreactors converting light into chemical energy. In addition, they also act as regulatory hub for intracellular communication and mediation of environmental impacts to regulate nuclear gene expression. Chloroplast ...

Usage of Solar Energy for the Bioelectrocatalysis – Photobiohybrid Eletrodes for the Light-Driven Synthesis of Valuable Substances (II, SP B)

Zouni, Athina, PD Dr. (Honorary Chairs / Professors by Special Appointment / Part-Time Lecturers)

Duration of Project: 02/2018 - 01/2021

The aims of the Tandem-project are light-triggered electrodes for efficient energy conversion. In the frame of the prolonged period of work it is planned to increase the efficiency of photobio-electrodes and also to couple them with enzymatic convers ...
