Researchers often look to photosynthesis—a process that turns sunlight into chemical energy in plants and bacteria—as a model for innovation. Photosynthesis is in turn linked to chlorophyll pigments, ...

Machine-learning algorithms for protein structure prediction can now generate models directly from sequences. However, photosynthetic assemblies represent a challenge due to additional levels of ...

Algal blooms cause great damage to water quality and aquaculture. However, this study showed that dead algal cells and chlorophyll could accelerate the photo-transformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a ...

This single-celled alga harvests far-red light by organizing chlorophyll molecules into large, cooperative clusters within its photosynthetic antenna. News organizations may use or redistribute this ...

Researchers from Chiba University synthesized two chlorophyll derivatives (ChG2 and ChG3) that self-assemble into rosette patterns, columnar stacks, and disc-shaped aggregates depending on the solvent ...
