Abstract excerpt
The reaction center core of photosystem II, a multiprotein membrane bound complex, is composed of a heterodimer of two proteins, D1 and D2. A random mutagenesis technique was used to isolate a photosystem II deficient mutant, CP6t16, of the unicellular cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that the primary lesion in CP6t16 is an ochre mutation introducing a translational...
