The Structure and Function of Chlorophyll-Proteins in Photosystem I and The Light Harvesting Complex of Photosystem Ii
type: CreativeWork
description: The functional units of chloroplast membranes which mediate photosynthetic electron transport from water to NADP are structurally organized into integral complexes. Two of these membrane-bound complexes, Photosystem I (PS I) and Photosystem II (PS II), consist in part of chlorophyll proteins. The chlorophyll-protein function to absorb incident light energy and to transfer absorbed energy to photochemical reaction centers where charge separation occurs. The structure and function of the chlorophyll-proteins of PS I and the light harvesting complex of PS II have been analyzed to provide information concerning the organization of pigmented proteins in photosynthetic membranes.
