Regulation and Functional Complexity of the Chlorophyll-Binding Protein IsiA

As the oldest known lineage of oxygen-releasing photosynthetic organisms, cyanobacteria play the key roles in helping shaping the ecology of Earth. Iron is an ideal transition metal for redox reactions in biological systems. Cyanobacteria frequently encounter iron deficiency due to the environmental...
