Matuszyńska 2016 NPQ model

The Matuszyńska 2016 NPQ model is an ODE model of photoprotection in plant photosystem II. It tracks the PSII open and closed states, the plastoquinone (PQ/PQH₂) redox pool, lumenal proton buffering, ATP synthesis, PsbS protonation and xanthophyll de-epoxidation (zeaxanthin formation) — the molecular machinery underlying non-photochemical quenching.

The model can be run under PAM fluorescence protocols, reproducing the Fm/Fm′ quenching observed experimentally and linking the fast photoprotective response to the redox state of the electron transport chain.
