My PhD research project focused on membrane-bound inorganic pyrophosphatases (mPPases). mPPases are integral membrane proteins that hydrolyze pyrophosphate (PPi) and transport H+ and/or Na+ ions across membranes thereby ...

Photosynthesis sustains life on Earth by converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds which can be utilized as an energy source by non-photosynthetic organisms. Photosynthetic light reactions produce NADPH and ATP, the ...

In oxygenic photosynthesis light is captured in series by two protein complexes: photosystem II and photosystem I (PSI and PSII). Electron transfer from PSII to PSI is mediated by the plastoquinone (PQ) pool. Despite being ...

Food lipids are mainly found in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG) containing three structurally identical or different fatty acids. The positional distribution of fatty acids is under genetic control. In TAG biosynthesis, ...

Microalgae have been under investigation as alternatives for wastewater treatment for the last 60 years. However, we are yet to see an algal based process to be trusted as a treatment strategy on a large scale. At present, ...

Food is always seen to possess colors. Colors are one of the first sensory stimuli in the perception of food, and color cues are utilized to imagine the expected taste, flavor and liking of food. Although the importance ...

Photon upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising reporters for supersensitive bioaffinity assays because they can be detected completely without autofluorescence background. This is enabled by anti-Stokes shifted ...

ABSTRACT Cyanobacteria are important primary producers performing oxygenic photosynthesis using CO2 or HCO3- as a carbon source. Active adjustment of gene expression according to environmental cues depends on the RNA ...

Berries are rich in health-promoting bioactive components and berry consumption may be associated with a lower risk of various chronic diseases. However, only a fraction of the annual yield of berries is exploited and ...

Healthy dietary choices, such as daily consumption of vegetables and fruits, are fundamental for preventing metabolic disorders. Anthocyanin-rich purple and red edible plants, such as berries and fruits, show potential in ...
