Super-complexes, able to specifically perform linear or cyclic
photosynthetic electron flow have been identified, and all contain the enzyme ferredoxin NADP + reductase (FNR), which is also present as a soluble protein.
To address these challenges, the Molecular and Nanoscale Interfaces Project aims to couple light absorbers, catalysts, and half - reactions for optimal control of the rate, yield, and energetics of
electron and proton
flow at the nanoscale, so that complete macroscale artificial
photosynthetic systems can achieve maximum conversion of solar photon energy into the chemical energy of a fuel.
