MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRediscover the foremost introduction to molecular photosynthesis on the market today\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the comprehensively revised Third Edition of \u003ci\u003eMolecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis\u003c/i\u003e, distinguished researcher and professor Robert E. Blankenship delivers a brand-new update to the most authoritative textbook on the subject of photosynthesis. In addition to thorough coverage of foundational topics in photosynthesis, the book discusses cutting-edge advances in research in this area, including new structures and new information about the mechanism of oxygen production. \u003cp\u003eThe author also describes advancements in the understanding of the regulation of photosynthesis and the critical process of photoprotection, as well as newly discovered pigments and organisms that extend oxygenic photosynthesis deeper into the near infrared spectral region. \u003cp\u003eReaders will also benefit from the inclusion of a fulsome appendix that incorporates a detailed introduction to the physical basis of photosynthesis, including thermodynamics, kinetics, and spectroscopy. A companion website offers downloadable figures as PowerPoint slides ideal for teaching. The book also includes: \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThorough introductions to the basic principles of photosynthetic energy storage, photosynthetic organisms and organelles, and the history and early development of photosynthesis\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAn expansive discussion of photosynthetic pigments, including their structure and spectroscopy\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eExplorations of antenna complexes, energy transfer processes, reaction centers, and electron transport pathways in anoxygenic phototrophs and oxygenic photosynthetic organisms\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eComprehensive treatments of chemiosmotic coupling, ATP synthesis, and carbon metabolism\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAuthoritative discussions of the evolution of photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerfect for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in biochemistry and biophysics, \u003ci\u003eMolecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis\u003c/i\u003e will also earn a place in the libraries of students studying plant biology and seeking a one-stop resource in the field of molecular photosynthesis. |
