Structural analysis of photosystem II in far-red-light-adapted thylakoid membranes. New crystal forms provide evidence for a dynamic reorganization of light-harvesting antennae subunits.

Abstract excerpt

We studied two-dimensional crystals of the major pigment-protein complex, photosystem II, in far-red-light-adapted thylakoid membranes of the viridis-zb63 mutant of barley. Significantly larger grana membranes were produced with an increased synthesis of the entire photosystem II complex. These red-light-adapted membranes also contained two-dimensional crystals with a high frequency. Three different crystal forms...
