Electron microscopy in structural studies of Photosystem II.

abstract：:The biogenesis and oxygen-evolving activity of cyanobacterial Photosystem II (PSII) is dependent on a number of accessory proteins not found in the crystallised dimeric complex. These include Psb27, a small lipoprotein attached to the lumenal side of PSII, which has been assigned a role in regulating the assembly of t...
