Understanding the Changes in the Circular Dichroism of Light Harvesting Complex II upon Varying Its Pigment Composition and Organization [PDF]
, 2007 In this work we modeled the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of LHCII, the main light harvesting antenna of photosystem II of higher plants. Excitonic calculations are performed for a monomeric subunit, taken from the crystal structure of trimeric LHCII ...

Determining protein structures in cellular lamella at pseudo-atomic resolution by GisSPA
Nature Communications, 2023 Cryo-electron tomography is a major tool used to study the structure of protein complexes in situ. However, the throughput of tilt-series image data collection is still quite low.

Light‐induced degradation of D2 protein in isolated photosystem II reaction center complex [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1992 When isolated photosystem II reaction centers from spinach are exposed to photoinhibitory light in the presence of an electron acceptor, breakdown products of the D2 protein at 28, 25, 23, 18, 9, 5 and 4.5 kDa are detected by immunoblotting with a monospecific anti‐D2 polyclonal antibody.

Operation of trans-thylakoid thiol-metabolizing pathways in photosynthesis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Thiol oxidation to disulfides and the reverse reaction, i.e. disulfide reduction to free thiols, are under the control of catalysts in vivo. Enzymatically assisted thiol-disulfide chemistry is required for the biogenesis of all energy-transducing ...
