Abstract: Abstract The naturally occurring 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone (DMBQ) has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer activities. As it is probably formed in plants via oxidative degradation of the anthocyanin malvidin and its glycosides, a targeted analysis of the DMBQ… read more here.

Abstract: Strategies to harness photosynthesis from living organisms to generate electrical power have long been considered, yet efficiency remains low. Here, we aimed to reroute photosynthetic electron flow in photosynthetic organisms without compromising their phototrophic properties.… read more here.
