Abstract excerpt
The chlorophyll a-binding protein CP47 directs excitation energy to the reaction center of photosystem II (PSII) during oxygenic photosynthesis and has additional structural and functional roles associated with the PSII water-oxidizing complex. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was employed to study loop C of CP47 (approximately Trp-162 to Gly-197) which faces the thylakoid lumen. Five short amino acid...
