Excitation Energy Transfer in Photosynthetic Reaction Centres
 Ptáček, Michal ; Mančal, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dostál, Jakub (referee)
The photosynthetic reaction centres have uppermost importance in photosynthesis. They represent the actual place where the energy carried by photons is turned into charge-separated states which then enable to establish the electrochemical H+ transmembrane gradient used by ATP synthases. The photosynthetic light- harvesting complexes gather the energy of light radiation and direct it in the form of electronic excitation energy into the reaction centres. The efficiency of this process is exceptionally high, close to unity, what is capturing the interest of researchers for decades. The development of experimental techniques has led to better understanding of this process down to atomic scale. Nowadays, this insight along with the theoretical basis stemming from quantum mechanics can be used to perform accurate computer simulations which can determine properties of the whole molecular aggregates independently of experiments. This thesis provides an introduction into the field of theoretical photosynthesis research, and it summarises the progress made in past two decades. The detailed theoretical approaches are being put into perspective of the reaction centres of photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides which is a valuable model organism. Both experimental and theoretical results of...

Photosystem I: from bacteria to green plants
 Palovská, Markéta ; Holá, Dana (advisor) ; Matyska Lišková, Petra (referee)
Type I Photosystems (PS) are characterized by a Fe-S cluster that serves as the terminal electron acceptor. They are present in 4 prokaryotic groups and all photosynthetic eukaryotes. This work summarizes the knowledge on the structure and function of PS I subunits. The simplest PS (homodimeric; only 2 subunits) is present in Heliobacteria. PS of green sulphur bacteria is also homodimeric and consists of 4 proteins including a membrane-bound cytochrome. The homodimeric PS of Candidatus Chloracidobacterium thermophilum is functional in aerobic conditions. The reaction center of the well-characterized PS I of Cyanobacteria has a heterodimeric structure; the same applies for the eukaryotic PS I. Cyanobacterial PS consists of 12 proteins and forms trimers under low light conditions. The trimer formation is completely suppressed in green plants. Their PS I (at least 15 proteins) is adapted to bind light-harvesting membrane proteins. The PS I of Glaukophyta and Rhodophyta is slightly different from green plants. Various hypotheses about the evolutionary origin of PS I exist. The last common ancestor of all PSs probably shared features of both Type I and Type II. The purpose and the origin of a PS I heterodimer is also discussed in this work. A further understanding of PS I evolutionary history would be helped by...
