Example sentences for: light-harvesting

How can you use “light-harvesting” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Other genes represented components of light-harvesting complexes (photosystems I and II), chloroplastic aldolase [ 21], and the phosphoenolpyruvate translocator gene [ 22].

  • The availability of Chl b thus strongly regulates import of LHCPs as well as assembly and eventual accumulation of light-harvesting complexes.

  • Consistent with this observation, studies of detergent-induced dissociation of LHCs suggested that Chl b is held by the proteins approximately two-times more tightly than Chl a [ 24 ] . Tighter binding of Chl b is apparently responsible for the well-known stability of light-harvesting complexes during mildly denaturing gel electrophoresis.

  • Chl, chlorophyll; Chlide, chlorophyllide; Pchlide, protochlorophyllide; LHC, light-harvesting complex; LHCII, LHC associated primarily with photosystem II; LHCP, LHC apoprotein; Lhcb or Lhca, apoproteins of LHCs associated with photosystem II or I, respectively.

  • Less strong Lewis bases are the charge-compensated Glu in an ion-pair with Arg, the amide group of Gln and Asn, and finally the carbonyl of the peptide backbone as the weakest [ 29 ] . The importance of the ligand was demonstrated by substitution of His with the weaker Lewis base Asn in the apoprotein of the bacterial light-harvesting complex LH1, which eliminated assembly of the complex in vivo and reconstitution in vitro [ 30 ] . Formation of a stable coordination bond with a weaker Lewis base is expected to require a stronger Lewis acid.
