Li 2021 model

The Li 2021 model is a kinetic model of photosynthesis centred on ion fluxes across the thylakoid membrane and their effect on the proton motive force (pmf). Built upon the Davis 2017 model, it gives a detailed account of the pmf-generating reactions — water splitting at photosystem II and plastoquinone oxidation at cytochrome b6f — while representing other steps with minimal complexity.

It adds two potassium and two chloride transport pathways to the thylakoid membrane and was validated against wild-type behaviour and several knockout mutants (VCCN1, CLCE, KEA3), making it a tool to dissect how ion fluxes regulate photosynthetic electron transport and photoprotection.
