1. Structural and functional analysis of violaxanthin de-epoxidase
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionenAbstract : Non photochemical quenching (NPQ) is an important way for plants to protect themselves from photooxidative damage. In higher plants, the major and most rapid part of NPQ is qE, which is controlled by the Violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE) and zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZE). VDE converts Violaxanthin (Vx) to Antheraxanthin (Ax), and then to Zeaxanthin (Zx). READ MORE
