Primary Processes Of Photosynthesis Parts 12 Principles And Apparatus Renger by Renger, Gernot (eds.) 9780080534244, 0080534244 instant download after payment.

In this two-part set, the editor brings together contributions from numerous leading scientific experts to provide a compendium of information offering the most up-to-date understanding in the primary processes of photosynthesis. The contributors have competently summarized the current knowledge on the mechanisms of light harvesting, charge separation, electron transport, water cleavage and ATP synthesis, in addition to providing high quality structure information at atomic resolution for a range of reaction centers and antenna complexes.
