Photosynthetic protein complexes : a structural approach /
作者: edited by Petra Fromme.
出版社:
简介:This detailed reference offers comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of a subject fundamental to a broad spectrum of fields, among them, plant and crop biotechnology and bioenergy. The structure and function of all major protein complexes in primary reactions are described, and new discoveries are surveyed. Editor Fromm (chemistry and biochemistry, Arizona State U.)--herself an important contributor to the field--brings together 15 contributions written by key players in the relatively recent discovery of the major structures of the photosynthetic complexes. The first chapter, an overview, is followed by chapters on the structure and function of the cyanobacterial photosystem, the atomic structure of plant photosystem, current models and mechanisms of water splitting, and the specifics of each protein complex. Color images are included in the book and at a constantly updated web site. Annotation 漏2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
