Abstract excerpt

The intrinsic chlorophyll protein CP 43, a component of photosystem II (PS II) in higher plants, green algae, and cyanobacteria, is encoded by the psbC gene. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was employed to introduce mutations into a segment of psbC that encodes the large extrinsic loop E of...
