Study can help design efficient artificial leaves, fuel cells, and other systems that mimic photosynthesis. Findings ...
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have solved a long ...
Scientists have uncovered why a critical part of photosynthesis only uses one of two seemingly identical pathways, revealing hidden energy barriers and structural nuances that could help engineer more ...
The benefits of photosynthesis are manifold. By that process, we breathe life-sustaining oxygen, eat a variety of foods, use wood for construction and, after flora die, make the most of enriched soil.
MIT gave photosynthesis a boost by evolving rubisco to work faster, raising hopes for higher crop yields and more efficient plants.
During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds to create sugars. However, rubisco, which is believed to be ...
