This energy flow is efficient\, directional\, and\, in oxy genic photosynthesis\, regulated. The regulatory response\, known as non-p hotochemical quenching (NPQ)\, involves complex and complicated multi-time scale processes that safely dissipate excess energy\, thus protecting the system against deleterious photoproducts. In recent research\, a protein w ithin this network\, light-harvesting complex stress related (LHCSR)\, has been implicated in regulation in green algae and moss. However\, the mech anisms behind photoprotection that occur in LHCSR remain poorly understood . We explore these mechanisms by probing LHCSR at the single-protein level \, enabling us to separate and identify distinct conformations. By charact erizing the conformational states and dynamics of individual proteins\, we characterize energy dissipation in single LHCSR proteins and how the exte nt of dissipation changes in response to pH and carotenoid composition\, t wo components known to play a role in photoprotection. From this informati on\, we identify the role of individual complexes in the balance between e fficiency and adaptability in photosynthetic light harvesting.\n DTSTART:20161004T170000Z DTEND:20161004T183000Z LOCATION:Rm 10\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Chemical Society Seminar: Dr. Gabriela Schlau-Cohen - Single-molecu le exploration of the regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting URL:/chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar -dr-gabriela-schlau-cohen-single-molecule-exploration-regulation-261952 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
