| Descrizione sintetica in italiano | In order to identify the protein domains and chromophores involved in quenching, she/he will create a library of mutant strains that each express the Lhcb1 protein and lack one of the 14 Chls bound to each monomer. The quenching of singlet chlorophyll excited states, is not the only photoprotection mechanism at work. Chlorophyll triplet formation will also be determined on purified proteins by transient absorption (TA) in the ms range. In order to maintain the “native” folding of pigment-proteins, these will be purified from thylakoids and included in nanodiscs, a preparation which, unlike liposomes, minimises scattering and allows for ultrafast TA measurements. By including WT or mutant LHCs in nanodiscs, together with pH-sensor subunit PsbS, she/he will attempt to identify the physical mechanism and species involved in quenching reactions, triggered by lumenal acidification. |
