Photosystem I01:27

Photosystem I

69.2K
Although structurally similar to photosystem II (PSII), photosystem I (PSI) is has a different electron supplier and electron acceptor.
Both these photosystems work in concert. An excited electron from PSII is relayed to PSI via an electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, which is comprised of the carrier molecule plastoquinone, the dual-protein cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin. As electrons move between PSII and PSI, they lose energy and must be re-energized...

Photosystem II01:22

Photosystem II

78.2K
The multi-protein complex photosystem II (PS II) harvests photons and transfers their energy through its bound pigments to its reaction center, and ultimately to photosystem I (PSI) through the electron transport chain. The pigments responsible for caputirng the light energy in photosystems include chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
The pigment molecules are arranged across  two photosystem domains — the antenna complex and the reaction center. The main aim of the pigment...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways01:22

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

8.6K
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...

Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light02:00

Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light

28.2K
Light plays a significant role in regulating the growth and development of plants. In addition to providing energy for photosynthesis, light provides other important cues to regulate a range of developmental and physiological responses in plants.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Photomedicine

Background:

  • Office-based phototherapy is effective but limited by patient access and inconvenience.
  • Poor adherence can negatively impact treatment outcomes for dermatoses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the history, devices, and costs of home phototherapy.
  • To evaluate the efficacy, adherence, and economic value of home phototherapy compared to office-based treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review utilizing PubMed with keywords: "home phototherapy," "tanning beds," "narrowband ultraviolet B."
  • Analysis of a randomized control trial comparing home and office-based phototherapy.

Main Results:

  • Home phototherapy demonstrated similar efficacy to office-based treatments.
  • Home phototherapy was associated with increased patient adherence.
  • Significant cost savings were observed with home phototherapy treatments.

Conclusions:

  • Home phototherapy is a viable, effective, and accessible treatment option for various dermatoses.
  • Consideration of home phototherapy is recommended due to its economic benefits, tolerability, and adherence.
  • Home phototherapy improves patient convenience and treatment outcomes.
