Abstract excerpt
In plants and green algae, light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) are a large family of chlorophyll binding proteins functioning as antennae, collecting solar photons and transferring the absorbed energy to the photosynthetic reaction centers, where light to chemical energy conversion begins. Although LHCs are all highly homologous in their structure and display a variety of common features, each complex finds a...
