Funded Activity Summary

In situ measurements of the electrostatic properties inside photosynthetic reaction centres: correlation with the energy conversion function of the protein. The photochemical reaction centre is a key protein complex involved in energy conversion. It converts solar energy into chemical energy as a transmembrane charge separation. Coupling of electron and proton transfer is catalysed at the level of a ubiquinone cofactor. In order to understand how the redox properties of this cofactor are fine tuned by the protein environment, we plan to probe the ubiquinone site using a voltage-sensitive fluorescent dye. This exciting multidisciplinary project will contribute to the understanding of how protein matrices influence and govern the midpoint redox potential of their cofactors and the environments of their
