Modeling the quinone-B binding site of the photosystem-II reaction center using notions of complementarity and contact-surface between atoms.

Proteins - 1 Mar 1995

Sobolev V, Edelman M

Abstract excerpt

Functional identity and significant similarities in cofactors and sequence exist between the L and M reaction center proteins of the photosynthetic bacteria and the D1 and D2 photosystem-II reaction center proteins of cyanobacteria, algae, and plants. A model of the quinone (QB) binding site of the D1 protein is presented based upon the resolved structure of the QB binding pocket of the L subunit, and introducing...
