<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The field of photosynthesis has changed dramatically since the 2nd edition of this book was published in 2014. One of the most important changes is the large number of new structures, both X-ray and Cryo-EM that have been determined for many of the key complexes that carry out photosynthesis. Important new information about the mechanism of oxygen production has recently become available. Substantial efforts to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis have been undertaken. New pigments and new organisms have been discovered that extend oxygenic photosynthesis deeper into the near infrared spectral region. There is important new information about the regulation of photosynthesis and about the critical process of photoprotection. These advances will be included within the existing chapters of the book. The basic organization of the book will not be changed, and the current chapter scope and number will be retained"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS <p><b>Rediscover the foremost introduction to molecular photosynthesis on the market today</b> <p>In the comprehensively revised Third Edition of <i>Molecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis</i>, distinguished researcher and professor Robert E. Blankenship delivers a brand-new update to the most authoritative textbook on the subject of photosynthesis. In addition to thorough coverage of foundational topics in photosynthesis, the book discusses cutting-edge advances in research in this area, including new structures and new information about the mechanism of oxygen production. <p>The author also describes advancements in the understanding of the regulation of photosynthesis and the critical process of photoprotection, as well as newly discovered pigments and organisms that extend oxygenic photosynthesis deeper into the near infrared spectral region. <p>Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of a fulsome appendix that incorporates a detailed introduction to the physical basis of photosynthesis, including thermodynamics, kinetics, and spectroscopy. A companion website offers downloadable figures as PowerPoint slides ideal for teaching. The book also includes: <ul><li>Thorough introductions to the basic principles of photosynthetic energy storage, photosynthetic organisms and organelles, and the history and early development of photosynthesis</li><li>An expansive discussion of photosynthetic pigments, including their structure and spectroscopy</li><li>Explorations of antenna complexes, energy transfer processes, reaction centers, and electron transport pathways in anoxygenic phototrophs and oxygenic photosynthetic organisms</li><li>Comprehensive treatments of chemiosmotic coupling, ATP synthesis, and carbon metabolism</li><li>Authoritative discussions of the evolution of photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis</li></ul> <p>Perfect for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in biochemistry and biophysics, <i>Molecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis</i> will also earn a place in the libraries of students studying plant biology and seeking a one-stop resource in the field of molecular photosynthesis.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>Rediscover the foremost introduction to molecular photosynthesis on the market today</b></p> <p>In the comprehensively revised Third Edition of <i>Molecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis</i>, distinguished researcher and professor Robert E.
