Photosystem I molecule F006 / 9380
Photosystem I. Molecular model of the photosystem I complex from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. Shown here are beta-carotene, alpha-chlorophyll and reaction centre subunits. Photosystems are protein complexes involved in photosynthesis. They are enzymes that absorb light and use it to reduce (add electrons to) other molecules. Photosystems I and II work together to form a photosynthetic chain that removes electrons from water, creating oxygen as a byproduct

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Photosystem I, a protein complex involved in photosynthesis. The image features a white background that beautifully highlights the detailed illustration of this biological marvel. The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus serves as the source for this particular model. Within the photo, we can observe various subunits such as beta-carotene, alpha-chlorophyll, and reaction center subunits. These components play crucial roles in absorbing light and utilizing it to reduce other molecules by adding electrons to them. This reduction process is an essential part of photosynthesis. Photosystems I and II work hand-in-hand to form a photosynthetic chain responsible for extracting electrons from water molecules, ultimately producing oxygen as a byproduct. This remarkable feat occurs within these protein complexes that act as enzymes. The image not only provides insight into the structural complexity of Photosystem I but also emphasizes its significance in biology, research, medicine, and biochemistry fields. It represents cutting-edge advancements in proteomics and microbiology studies while showcasing how nature's mechanisms inspire healthcare innovations. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this artwork offers an invaluable visual representation of Photosystem I's tertiary structure comprising alpha helices and beta sheets. Its scientific accuracy makes it an indispensable tool for scientists studying photosynthesis or exploring potential applications related to electron transfer processes.
