This project investigates the structural dynamics of orange carotenoid proteins in cyanobacteria, focusing on their role in photoprotection. By using advanced techniques like time-resolved X-ray crystallography, it aims to enhance our understanding of light energy management, with potential applications in biofuel prod…
Like most photosynthetic organisms, cyanobacteria are vulnerable to fluctuations in light intensity, which can damage their photosynthetic machinery.
To protect themselves against such fluctuations, they use a photoprotective mechanism called non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), i.e. the dissipation of excess absorbed photo-energy as heat. NPQ in cyanobacteria is triggered by orange carotenoid protein (OCP) light activation.
Based on spectroscopic and diffraction studies of OCP in Synechocystis 68…
