Photosynthesis Welcome to the Sheffield Photosynthesis Research group website. We utilise a range of molecular genetic, biochemical and biophysical approaches to study photosynthesis in plants, algae and bacteria. You are here Home Photosynthesis Our Research We are investigating photosynthetic electron transfer, light harvesting, membrane organisation and assembly, photosynthetic regulation and bionanotechnology, and chlorophyll biosynthesis News Catch-up with the latest news from the Sheffield Photosynthesis Research Group.
