Summary:

The fascinating machinery that life uses to harness energy is the focus of this volume of the Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration Series. Experts in the field communicate their insights into the mechanisms that govern biological energy conversion from the atomic scale to the physiological integration within organisms. By leveraging the power of current structural techniques the authors reveal the inner workings of our biosphere.
