This project will investigate molecular mechanisms of photosynthesis in Chl d with the view to applying our findings in biotechnology and artificial photosynthesis. We will use a variety of molecular biology, proteomics and physical techniques to probe the bonding of Chl d to binding proteins. Synthetic peptide maquettes will provide a model to develop this understanding. Only two chlorophylls (a and d) have so far been found to take part in the primary reactions of photosynthesis. This research will grow our understanding of this pivotal process and underpin future developments in artificial photosynthesis and in the photonics industry.

本项目将研究叶绿素光合作用的分子机制，以期将我们的研究成果应用于生物技术和人工光合作用。我们将使用各种分子生物学，蛋白质组学和物理技术来探测Chl - d与结合蛋白的结合。合成肽模型将提供一个模型来发展这种理解。到目前为止，只发现了两种叶绿素（a和d）参与光合作用的主要反应。这项研究将加深我们对这一关键过程的理解，并为人工光合作用和光子学产业的未来发展奠定基础。
