Scientists Reveals New Method to Analyse 3D Structure of Artificial Photosynthetic Antenna

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have successfully identified the 3D structure of an artificial light-harvesting complex II (LHCII). This structure mimics the natural LHCII found in plants and plays a critical role in photosynthesis. Using in vitro reconstitution and cryo-electron microscopy, the team demonstrated that the artificial complex closely resemb...
