Fotoinhibering er en lysindusert reduksjon i fotosyntesekapasiteten i planter, alger eller blågrønnbakterier. Fotosystem II (PSII) er mer sensitivt overfor lys enn resten av fotosynteseapparatet, og forskere brukere derfor ofte begrepet fotoinhibering om lysinduserte skader på fotosystem II. I levende organismer (in vivo forsøk), blir de skadde reaksjonssenterne i fotosystem II kontinuerlig repareret. Dette skjer ved at D1-proteinet i reaksjonssenteret brytes ned og nytt D1-protein syntetiseres. Det er tilgjengelig en rekke reviewartikler som omhandler fotoinhibering. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
