Overall energy conversion efficiency of a photosynthetic vesicle

Overall energy conversion efficiency of a photosynthetic vesicle

The chromatophore of purple bacteria is an intracellular spherical vesicle that exists in numerous copies in the cell and that efficiently converts sunlight into ATP synthesis, operating typically under low light conditions. Building on an atomic-level structural model of a low-light-adapted chromat...
