The PsbQ protein defines cyanobacterial Photosystem II complexes with highest activity and stability [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Light-induced conversion of water to molecular oxygen by Photosystem II (PSII) is one of the most important enzymatic reactions in the biosphere. PSII is a multisubunit membrane protein complex with numerous associated cofactors, but it continually undergoes assembly and disassembly due to frequent light-mediated damage as a result of its ...

Surface-Enhanced Resonance Raman Scattering Spectroscopy of Photosystem II Pigment-Protein Complexes
The Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1994 Three different photosystem II (PSII) pigment-protein complexes (D1-D2-Cyt b559-CP47, D1-D2-Cyt b559, and CP47) isolated from spinach were studied by surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) spectroscopy. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a distance sensitive (on a 5-10-Å scale) spectroscopic tool that can be used to examine ...
