Dissecting Bioelectrical Networks in Photosynthetic Membranes with Electrochemistry.

ABSTRACT: Photosynthetic membranes contain complex networks of redox proteins and molecules, which direct electrons along various energy-to-chemical interconversion reactions important for sustaining life on Earth. Analyzing and disentangling the mechanisms, regulation, and interdependencies of these electron transfer pathways is extremely difficult, owing to the large number of interacting components in the native membrane environment. While electrochemistry is well established for studying electron transfer in purified proteins, it has proved difficult to wire into proteins within their native membrane environments and even harder to probe on a systems-level the electron transfer networks they are entangled within. Here, we show how photosynthetic membranes from cyanobacteria can be wired to elect
