Schematic View of a PSI-GNP-PSII Conjugate

Caption

Schematic view of a PSI-GNP-PSII conjugate designed in this study. The electron acceptor and donor sides of PSII and PSI complexes, respectively, are attached to a GNP through (His)6 tags and Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA), and thus electrons abstracted from H2O in PSII are expected to be transferred to PSI upon illumination.
