What enzymes are involved in photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multisubunit enzyme embedded in the lipid environment of the thylakoid membranes of plants, algae and cyanobacteria. Powered by light, this enzyme catalyses the chemically and thermodynamically demanding reaction of water splitting. In so doing, it releases dioxygen into the atmosphere and provides the reducing equivalents required for the conversion of CO2 into the organic molecules of life.

Ferredoxin-NADP⁺ reductase converts NADP to NADPH in Photosystem I

Answer 2

There are many enzymes involved in this process but the ones I find the most important are:

1. oxygen evolving complex = breaks water molecules apart at the beginning of phase one of photosynthesis.
2. ATP Synthase = produces ATP molecules from ADP and a free phosphate as H+ ions travel through it (down their concentration gradient).
3. Rubisco = attaches an inorganic Carbon from CO2 into part of an organic sugar molecule in phase 2 of photosynthesis.
