Kneipp, Janina, Prof. Dr. rer. nat. (Physical Chemistry)
Duration of Project: 01/2014 - 12/2017
Financer: DAADThe 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 ...
CRC 1078/1: Structural Basis of Proton Release in Water Oxidation by Photosystem II (SP A05)
Zouni, Athina, (Experimental Biophysics)
Duration of Project: 01/2013 - 03/2021
In oxygenic photosynthesis, water is oxidized and dioxygen is formed at the Mn4Ca complex of photosystem II (PSII), a 750 kDa protein-cofactor complex embedded in the thylakoid membrane of plants and cyanobacteria. Reliable structural models of PSII ...
