Rediscover the ultimate introduction to molecular photosynthesis available today! In the extensively revised Third Edition of Molecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis, renowned researcher and professor Robert E. Blankenship presents a fresh update to the most authoritative textbook on the subject of photosynthesis. In addition to comprehensive coverage of foundational topics in photosynthesis, the book delves into cutting-edge advancements in research, encompassing new structures and novel insights into the mechanism of oxygen production.

The author also outlines advancements in understanding the regulation of photosynthesis and the crucial process of photoprotection, as well as the discovery of new pigments and organisms that expand oxygenic photosynthesis into the near-infrared spectral region.

Readers will further benefit from the inclusion of a comprehensive appendix that provides a detailed introduction to the physical basis of photosynthesis, encompassing thermodynamics, kinetics, and spectroscopy. A companion website offers downloadable figures as PowerPoint slides, making them ideal for teaching purposes.

The book also includes:

Thorough introductions to the basic principles of photosynthetic energy storage, photosynthetic organisms and organelles, and the history and early development of photosynthesis.

An expansive discussion of photosynthetic pigments, including their structure and spectroscopy.

Explorations of antenna complexes, energy transfer processes, reaction centers, and electron transport pathways in anoxygenic phototrophs and oxygenic photosynthetic organisms.

Comprehensive treatments of chemiosmotic coupling, ATP synthesis, and carbon metabolism.

Authoritative discussions of the evolution of photosynthesis.

By exploring these topics in depth, Molecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of botany, plant science, and environmental biology. With its comprehensive coverage, up-to-date information, and engaging writing style, this textbook is a must-have for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind photosynthesis.
