Photosystem II: Structure and Function (Special Issue)
Photosystem II (PS II) is the most studied photosynthetic membrane protein complex, with nearly 28,000 entries identified in Google Scholar over the last 10 years. These studies include numerous investigations on photon absorption, excitation energy transfer, and charge separation within the photosystem and its antenna (fsec to msec), electron transfer during oxygen evolution (msec-msec), state transitions and non-photochemical quenching (sec-min), damage and repair of the photosystem (min-hr), and adaptation to changing light environments (hr-days). PS II is truly a photosystem for all seasons, and for nearly all time scales and techniques, from 2-dimensional electronic spectroscopy to detect exciton transfer and XFEL crystal structure determinations, both in the femtosecond time domain, to the techniques of biochemistry, physiology, and cell biology (chromatography, gel electrophoresis, and gene sequencing) that require hours, or even days.
The collection consists of three review and seven research articles which relate to the structure and function of PS II. A related collection on the assembly, repair, and regulation of PS II can be found here. Both collections are dedicated to the memories of Professors Bridgette Barry and Ron Pace, two scientists who made substantial contributions to research on PS II, who passed while the special issues were in the planning stages.
