Abstract excerpt
In Cyanobacteria, the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) and Fluorescence Recovery Protein (FRP) are central to the photoprotective mechanism consisting in regulated quenching of phycobilisome (PBs) fluorescence. Due to a transient and flexible nature of the light-activated red quenching form, OCPR, which is obtained from the stable dark-adapted orange form, OCPO, by photoconversion, the detailed mechanism of...
