Key processes in photosynthesis are the absorption of solar energy by antenna pigments
and the efficient transfer of excitation energy to photochemical reaction centers, where the …

The fundamental photochemical reaction of photosynthetic energy conversion, which
transforms the photon energy of light in chemical free energy, takes places in a membrane …

Extensively revised, the fourth edition of this highly successful book takes into account the
many newly determined protein structures that provide molecular insight into chemiosmotic …

The crystal structure of the light-harvesting antenna complex (LH2) from
Rhodopseudomonas acidophila strain 10050 shows that the active assembly consists of two …

A detailed protocol for crystallizing membrane proteins that makes use of lipidic
mesophases is described. This has variously been referred to as the lipid cubic phase or in …

Background: The light-harvesting complexes II (LH-2s) are integral membrane proteins that
form ring-like structures, oligomers of αβ-heterodimers, in the photosynthetic membranes of …

The structure at 100K of integral membrane light-harvesting complex II (LH2) from
Rhodopseudomonas acidophila strain 10050 has been refined to 2.0 Å resolution. The …

The cubic phase or in meso crystallization method is responsible for almost 40 solved
integral membrane protein structures. Most of these are small and compact proteins. A …

Strong light-matter interaction leads to the formation of hybrid polariton states and alters the
photophysical dynamics of organic materials and biological systems without modifying their …

Crystallization of membrane proteins, a prerequisite for their X-ray crystallographic analysis,
remains difficult. Here, we demonstrate that the crystallization of the cytochrome c oxidase …
