Abstract excerpt
Oxygenic photosynthesis is an important bioenergetic process that maintains the Earth's atmosphere and allows carbon fixation. A critical enzyme in this process, the cytochrome b(6)f complex, differs from other protein complexes of the same family by an unusual covalently attached cofactor chemically defined as a c' heme. We have identified a set of pioneer proteins that carry the biogenesis of this c' heme and...
