This prompted us to study the role of the D1 axial ligand to PD1 in the thermophilic cyanobacterium T. elongatus from which fully active PSII can be purified and importantly for which the PSII structure is known [1], [2]. To achieve this aim we describe here the development of a ...
algae, and cyanobacteria. The structure of p700 has a heterodimer with two distinct chlorophyll molecules referred to as chlorophyllaand chlorophylla. This special pair of p700 behaves as a single unit while absorbing light in the light reaction. ...
