Abstract excerpt
The organization of pigment molecules in photosystems is strictly determined. The peripheral antennae have both chlorophyll a and b, but the core antennae consist of only chlorophyll a in green plants. Furthermore, according to the recent model obtained from the crystal structure of light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complexes II (LHCII), individual chlorophyll-binding sites are occupied by either...
