Molecular Anatomy of Plant Photoprotective Switches: The Sensitivity of PsbS to the Environment, Residue by Residue

Published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

Under strong sunlight, plants avoid photooxidation by quenching the excess absorbed energy. Quenching is triggered by PsbS, a membrane protein that is activated and deactivated by the light-dependent pH changes in the thylakoid lumen. The mechanism of action of this protein is unknown, but it was suggested that several glutamates act as pH sensors....
