Comprehensive Overview Sites
There are several sites devoted to the entire photosynthetic process. Although they may cover the same subject, the articles are written for a variety of audiences. Some are basic narratives aimed at the general public, others are comprehensive courses aimed at college students. All of these are quite good and several should be
checked out for comparison.
"The Photosynthetic Process" by John Whitmarsh and Govindjee (http://www.life.uiuc.edu/govindjee/paper/gov.html) is a comprehensive chapter and covers photosynthesis history and every facet of photosynthesis research in a relatively detailed manner.
J. M Farabee from Estrella Mountain Community College also has
written a highly recommended online biology course text that includes a detailed section on photosynthesis with emphasis on the physical aspects of the process. He also includes review questions, learning objectives and a nicely done illustrated glossary (http://gened.emc.maricopa.edu/bio/bio181/BIOBK/BioBookPS.html).
Members of the Faculty of Biology at the University of Hamburg, Germany have also produced an online botany textbook with excellent section devoted to photosynthesis (http://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/biologie/b_online/e24/24.htm).
MIT's Biology Hypertextbook also contains a very good section, called the
"Photosynthesis Directory," devoted to photosynthesis(http://esg-www.mit.edu: 8001/esgbio/ps/psdir.html).
The light reactions:
From the Botany Online site at the University of Hamburg (http://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/biologie/b_online/e24/24c.htm), we get a brief history of the elucidation of
the dark and light reactions. This is followed by an excellent description of phosphorylation and the two photosystem. It is profusly illustrated.
C. The Dark Reactions/Calvin-Benson Cycle/Carbon Cycle
From the Botany Online site at the University of Hamburg (http://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/biologie/b_online/e24/24a.htm): This is a great site as the equations and
the chemical structures are available. You may need to install some plug ins.
D. The Photosynthetic Unit/Reaction Centers
"Schematic Diagram of a Photosynthetic Unit Showing Exciton Transfer" is an animated web page from the University of Hamburg
(http://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/biologie/b_online/library/bio201/psunit.html): It is lovely to watch it.
J. C-3, C-4 and CAM (Crasulacean Acid Metabolism) Pathways
"C3, C4 and CAM, Regulation of the Activity of Photosynthesis" from Botany Online at the University of Hamburg
(http://www.rrz.unihamburg.de/biologie/b_online/e24/24b.htm ) describes what the title says.
O. Rubisco (Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase Oxygenase)
"Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase" from University of Hamburg (http://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/biologie/ialb/lehre/molbio/1rxo/e1rxoe.htm): The page opens with nice colored pictures of the enzyme. The site discusses in depth the mechanism of action as well as the structure of the enzyme. It requires downloading plug-ins. (mit Abbildung: Bergmann)
