Have you ever looked at the night sky and wondered if there’s a chlorophyll f in the reaction centre of Photosystem I from far-red light adapted cyanobacteria? 🦠
Well, we did (don’t judge) and the work that followed is now out as a First Release in @science.org

Locating the missing chlorophylls f in far-red photosystem I
The discovery of chlorophyll f-containing photosystems, with their long-wavelength photochemistry, represented a distinct, low-energy paradigm for oxygenic photosynthesis. Structural studies on chloro...

I'm happy to say that our new paper (and the first one out of my PhD thesis) is out!
We describe the CryoEM structure of the phycobilisomes expressed during far-red light photoacclimation, and try to make sense of why these cyano are fond of "minimalism" :)
