A molecular model of the protein synthesis of the photosynthetic light system, the electron flow pathway and the modification engineered in this work. The protein aggregation is described in the colors of blue, white and red, which describe the electrical charge of the proteins. The lipids (fats) that make up the membrane in which the protein aggregation is embedded are colored in green and red. The small soluble protein isolated from horse hearts that accepts the electrons is shown above the protein aggregation of the photosynthetic light system. The natural flow of electrons is shown by a black arrow, and the one engineered in the technical work - by a yellow arrow. Illustration: Technion researchers
