Understanding Photosystem II Function by Artificial Photosynthesis

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 22))

Summary

Inspired by the Photosystem II reaction center and the water oxidation chemistry that it performs, we aim to develop artificial photosynthesis for fuel production. Besides the original work we do in this direction, we also acquire knowledge feedback from our novel compounds. Our man-made systems create new perspectives on electron and proton transfer, bioinorganic chemistry, excitation energy transfer and other issues that are central to photosynthesis research. In this chapter we describe some of the highlights in our research and the conclusions they have generated.
