چکیده
Light is the most abundant source of energy on earth and used by photosynthetic organisms to drive synthesis organic molecules. also allows catalysis few enzymes, photoenzymes. Among them, fatty acid photodecarboxylase (FAP) isolated from microalgae converts acids into hydrocarbons. We present here our understanding role hydrocarbons produced FAP in vivo, catalytic mechanism its potential biotechnological applications.

Macromolecular Investigations by Laser light Scattering
In a liquid suspension the small particles dance around randomly executing Brownian motion. When laser light is focussed onto such a solution, the total light scattered consists of superposition of the light scattered from the individual particles in the scattering volume. Interference effects between the light scattered from different particles executing Brownian motion will cause this total i...
متن کاملInvestigations of Light Scattering by Ocean Waters
Our overall, long-term goal is to significantly advance our understanding of the light scattering properties of marine particles as well as their general optical properties. Our goal is to study particle optical properties using a unique set of new optical instruments that we have developed on previous ONR funded projects. Observational studies will be conducted at sea in various coastal waters...
متن کاملInhibition of Photosynthesis in Some Algae by Extreme-Red Light.
Photosynthesis produced by far-red light (about 700 mmicro) is reversibly inhibited in some algae by extreme-red light ( approximately 750 mmicro).
متن کاملInhibition of Photosynthesis in Certain Algae by Extreme Red Light.
This paper shows that in Porphyridium cruentum and in Chlorella pyrenoidosa (but apparently not in Anacystis nidulans) "extreme red" light (> 720 mmu) can inhibit photosynthesis produced by "far red" light (up to 720 mmu). From the action spectrum of this phenomenon, it appears that an unknown pigment with an absorption band around 745 mmu must be responsible for it.
متن کاملHarnessing light to create defect-free, hierarchically structured polymeric materials.
Computer simulations reveal how photoinduced chemical reactions in polymeric mixtures can be exploited to create long-range order in materials with features that range from the submicron to the nanoscale. The process is initiated by shining a spatially uniform light on a photosensitive AB binary blend, which thereby undergoes both a reversible chemical reaction and a phase separation. When a we...
