为植物光合作用收集光的蛋白质嵌入在细胞膜内的一个称为类囊体膜（或“光合膜”）的位置。这些蛋白质形成光捕获天线，其为许多重要的光合过程提供能量，例如水氧化和氧气释放，质子穿过与光系统和细胞色素b6f复合物的电子传递链偶联的类囊体膜的泵送，以及利用产生的质子梯度通过ATP合酶的ATP合成。光合作用膜：光捕获的分子机制和生物物理学介绍了光捕获光合膜的基本设计和功能，这是生命中最常见和最重要的结构之一。它描述了膜的基本结构，膜蛋白的种类和作用，光捕获复合物及其大分子组装的原子结构，光捕获和初级能量转化的分子机制和动力学，以及对不同光环境的广泛适应。这本书以光合作用膜为例，展示了复杂的生物结构如何利用化学和物理原理来实现生物功能。光合作用膜：光收集的分子机制将吸引广大的本科生和研究生以及在生物化学，分子生物学，生物物理学，植物科学和生物工程领域工作的研究人员。
The proteins that gather light for plant photosynthesis are embedded within cell membranes in a site called the thylakoid membrane (or the" photosynthetic membrane"). These proteins form the light harvesting antenna that feeds with energy a number of vital photosynthetic processes such as water oxidation and oxygen evolution, the pumping of protons across the thylakoid membranes coupled with the electron transport chain of the photosystems and cytochrome b6f complex, and ATP synthesis by ATP synthase utilizing the generated proton gradient. The Photosynthetic Membrane: Molecular Mechanisms and Biophysics of Light Harvesting is an introduction to the fundamental design and function of the light harvesting photosynthetic membrane, one of the most common and most important structures of life. It describes the underlying structure of the membrane, the variety and roles of the membrane proteins, the atomic structures of light harvesting complexes and their macromolecular assemblies, the molecular mechanisms and dynamics of light harvesting and primary energy transformations, and the broad range of adaptations to different light environments. The book shows, using the example of the photosynthetic membrane, how complex biological structures utilize principles of chemistry and physics in order to carry out biological functions. The Photosynthetic Membrane: Molecular Mechanisms of Light Harvesting will appeal to a wide audience of undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers working in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, plant science and bioengineering.
