The structure of the photosystem I dimer embedded in the thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, where the light-driven photosynthesis process takes place (inside of the membrane: lumen, outside: stroma). The letter combinations denote different proteins that the researchers have identified.

The letter combinations denote different proteins that the researchers have identified. Nature Plants/10.1038/s41477'022 -01253-4 Photosynthesis is the most important basis of life on Earth. In it, plants and single-cell algae use the energy of sunlight and convert this energy into sugar and biomass. In this process, oxygen is released. Plant biotechnologists and structural biologists from the Universities of Münster and Stockholm (Sweden) have clarified the structure of a new protein complex which catalyses energy conversion processes in photosynthesis. This protein complex is the photosystem I, which is known as a single protein complex (monomer) in plants.
