This method is used to isolate Photosystem I (PSI) together with the Light Harvesting Complex (LHCI), its native antenna, from plants. PSI-LHCI a large membrane protein complex coordinating hundreds of light harvesting and electron transport factors most efficient system found in nature. Photons absorbed by four LHCA antenna proteins that make up LHCI are transferred through excitonic interaction PSI core reaction center facilitate light-driven charge separation across thylakoid membrane,...
Abstract The moss Physcomitrium patens diverged from green algae shortly after the colonization of land by ancient plants. This posed new environmental challenges which drove evolutionary processes. photosynthetic machinery modern flowering plants is adapted to high light conditions on land. Red shifted Lhca4 antennae are present in photosystem I harvesting complex many lineage but absent P. . Cryo-EM structure supercomplex (PSI-LHCI) at 2.8 Å reveals that replaced a unique Lhca2 paralogue...
