Until now, the functional and structural characterization of monomeric photosystem 1 (PS1) complexes from Thermosynechococcus elongatus has been hampered by the lack of a fully intact PS1 preparation; ...

Structural dynamics of water and its hydrogen-bonding networks play an important role in enzyme function via the transport of protons, ions, and substrates. To gain insights into these mechanisms in ...

Here we describe the first 3D structure of the photosystem II (PSII) supercomplex of higher plants, constructed by single particle analysis of images obtained by cryoelectron microscopy. This ...

Here we present cryoelectron crystallographic analysis of an isolated dimeric oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II (at a resolution of ~0.9 nm), revealing that the D1–D2 reaction center (RC ...
