Abstract

In this paper, the molecular mechanism of chloroplast-like vesicle membrane structure optimisation for efficient photosynthesis is explored in depth. It describes the basic structure and function of chloroplast-like vesicle membrane, analyses how its structure optimization helps photosynthesis in light energy absorption, excitation energy transfer, electron transfer and ATP synthesis, and explores the related molecular mechanism and influencing factors, and introduces the research progress and application prospect of chloroplast-like vesicle engineering, etc. It aims at providing a theoretical basis to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis, to increase the yield of crops and to promote the production of biofuel.
