Abstract excerpt
Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) of photosynthetic organisms play a photoprotective role by reducing oxygen to water and thus avoiding the accumulation of excess electrons on the photosystem I (PSI) acceptor side under stress conditions. In Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 grown under high CO2, both FDPs Flv1 and Flv3 are indispensable for oxygen reduction. We performed a detailed in vivo kinetic study of wild-type (WT) and...
