dye used in biochemistry

Sedoheptulose-bisphosphatase (also sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase or SBPase, EC number 3.1.3.37; systematic name sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate 1-phosphohydrolase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the removal of a phosphate group from sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphate to produce sedoheptulose 7-phosphate. SBPase is an example of a phosphatase, or, more generally, a hydrolase. This enzyme participates in the Calvin cycle.

chemical reaction

Proteorhodopsin (PR or pRhodopsin) belongs to the family of bacterial transmembrane rhodopsins (retinylidene proteins). In 1971, the first microbial transmembrane rhodopsin - Bacteriorhodopsin was discovered in archea domain by Dieter Oesterhelt and Walther Stoeckenius. Later in 2000, the first bacterial transmembrane rhodopsins was discovered by Oded Béjà and Edward DeLong. The Proteorhodopsin is widely expressed in various type of aquatic habitats. It functions as light-driven proton pumps with the help of retinal chromophore at the active site. The light-driven proton pump gives bacteria en

Component of photosynthesis

P700, or photosystem I primary donor, is a molecular dimer of chlorophyll a associated with the reaction center of photosystem I in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.

Quantasomes are particles found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in which photosynthesis takes place.

P680, or photosystem II primary donor, is the reaction-center chlorophyll a molecular dimer associated with photosystem II in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, and central to oxygenic photosynthesis.
