Primary Processes of Photosynthesis: Principles and Apparatus, 1. osaG. Renger Royal Society of Chemistry, 2008 - 496 pages In this two part set the Editor has brought together contributions from numerous leading scientific experts providing a compendium of information offering the most up-to-date understanding of the primary processes of photosynthesis. The contributors have competently summarized the current knowledge on the mechanisms of light harvesting, charge separation, electron transport, water cleavage and ATP synthesis in addition to providing high quality structure information at atomic resolution for a range of reaction centres and antenna complexes. |
