Photosynthesis: Photobiochemistry and Photobiophysics is the first
single-authored book in the Advances in Photosynthesis Series. It
provides an overview of the light reactions and electron transfers
in both oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis. The scope of the
book is characterized by the time frame in which the light
reactions and the subsequent electron transfers take place, namely
between <=10-12 and >=10-3 second. The book is divided into
five parts: An Overview; Bacterial Photosynthesis; Photosystem II
& Oxygen Evolution; Photosystem I; and Proton Transport and
Photophosphorylation. In discussing the structure and function of
various protein complexes, we begin with an introductory chapter,
followed by chapters on light-harvesting complexes, the primary
electron donors and the primary electron acceptors, and finally the
secondary electron donors. The discussion on electron acceptors is
presented in the order of their discovery to convey a sense of
history, in parallel with the advancement in instrumentation of
increasing time resolution. The book includes a large number of
stereo pictures showing the three-dimensional structure of various
photosynthetic proteins, which can be easily viewed with unaided
eyes. This book is designed to be used as a textbook in a graduate
or upper-division undergraduate course in photosynthesis,
photobiology, plant physiology, biochemistry, and biophysics; it is
equally suitable as a resource book for students, teachers, and
researchers in the areas of molecular and cellular biology,
integrative biology, microbiology, and plant biology.
