Popis: | The light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) trimer in plants functions as a major antenna complex and a quencher to protect it from photooxidative damage. Theoretical studies on the structure of an LHCII trimer have demonstrated that excitation energy transfer between chlorophylls (Chls) in LHCII can be modulated by its exquisite conformational fluctuation. However, conformational changes depending on its binding location have not yet been investigated, even though reorganization of protein complexes occurs by physiological regulations. In this study, we investigated conformational differences in LHCII by comparing published structures of an identical LHCII trimer in the three different photosystem supercomplexes from the green alga |
