PHOTOSYNTHETIC REACTION CENTER AND CORE ANTENNA SYSTEM (TRIMERIC), ALPHA CARBON ONLY

Overview

The 4 A X-ray structure model of trimeric photosystem I of the, cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus reveals 31 transmembrane, nine, surface and three stromal alpha-helices per monomer, assigned to the 11, protein subunits: PsaA and PsaB are related by a pseudo two-fold axis, normal to the membrane plane, along which the electron transfer pigments, are arranged. 65 antenna chlorophyll a (Chl a) molecules separated by < or, = 16 A form an oval, clustered net continuous with the electron transfer, chain through the second and third Chl a pairs of the electron transfer, system. This suggests a dual role for these Chl a both in excitation, energy and electron transfer. The architecture of the protein core, indicates quinone and iron-sulphur type reaction centres to have a common, ... [(full description)]
