Excited to be part of this manuscript identifying the first stromal residue involved in PsbS function!
Check out our recent pre-print which identifies the role of the first stromal residue involved in PsbS’ NPQ function!
We found mutating the c-term b-strand reduced induction but increased relaxation ☀️ 🌿

Mutation of a stromal C-terminal threonine residue of Photosystem II subunit S slows down NPQ induction and speeds up relaxation
In order to prevent damage by excess light, photosystem antennae can switch to an energy dissipative mode (termed non-photochemical quenching, NPQ). In higher plants, this switch is facilitated by the...

Back to growing maize, trying to do some more pollinations. Any tips for buggy whip?

Congratulations to our PhD student Georgia, who passed her viva yesterday with (very) minor corrections! All while being interrupted by the fire alarm… Thanks to Julian Hibberd and Tracy Lawson for being excellent examiners! 🌱🌿

Recently did a 3D print of the protein I study, PsbS. Cool to see in real life the tiny thing I’ve been thinking about for over three years. Maybe its mysteries might be soon unravelled…?
Thanks to @jimhasse.bsky.social and the lab for your help! 🌱
