Some photosynthetic organisms have a remarkable ability to accumulate long-wavelength absorbing photopigments, such as chlorophyll f, in response to the changed light and nutrient environments. The project aims to demonstrate that the structure and function of undefined chlorophyll f-binding proteins can be changed and controlled in desired light and nutrient conditions. The optimised photosynthesis strengthens their adaptation capability and challenges the long wavelength limits of photosynthesis. The research outcome will provide tools and a molecular blueprint for the adaptation of photosynthesis with optimised energy transfer pathway and efficiency for potential future molecular applications.

一些光合生物具有积累长波长吸收感光色素（例如叶绿素 f）的显着能力，以响应变化的光和营养环境。该项目旨在证明未定义的叶绿素 f 结合蛋白的结构和功能可以在所需的光照和营养条件下改变和控制。优化的光合作用增强了它们的适应能力，挑战了光合作用的长波长极限。该研究成果将为光合作用的适应提供工具和分子蓝图，并为未来潜在的分子应用优化能量转移途径和效率。
