Deskripsi

De novo development of a simplified photosynthetic reaction center protein can clarify practical engineering principles needed to build enzymes for efficient energy conversion. Here, the authors develop an artificial photosynthetic reaction center that functions without the need for sacrificial electron donors or acceptors.
