Antenna complexes protect Photosystem I from Photoinhibition
BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Photosystems are composed of two moieties, a reaction center and a peripheral antenna system. In photosynthetic eukaryotes the latter system is composed of proteins belonging to Lhc family. An increasing set of evidences demonstrated how these
