Abstract Photosystem I (PSI) is one of the two photosystems conserved from cyanobacteria to vascular plants, and associates with multiple light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) that capture and transfer solar energy. Liverworts such as Marchantia polymorpha occupy an early evolutionary position among land plants and faced major challenges during terrestrial adaptation, including desiccation, strong light, and UV radiation.

Abstract Haptophytes are unicellular algae that produce 30 to 50% of biomass in oceans. Among haptophytes, a subset named coccolithophores is characterized by calcified scales. Despite the importance of coccolithophores in global carbon fixation and CaCO3 production, their energy conversion system is still poorly known.

Après les mésaventures de la semaine dernière (voir ici), je suis reparti cette semaine à la recherche de nouvelles conditions afin de rendre mon complexe de protéines stable. Ayant testé de modifier ma solution en faisant varier 3 paramètres clés (tampon, sels, et pH), il me restait quelques options à explorer. Des dernières pistes à explorer ?
