Abstract
|
|
|
The history and methods of membrane protein crystallization are described. The
solution of the structure of the photosynthetic reaction center from the
bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis is described, and the structure of this
membrane protein complex is correlated with its function as a light-driven
electron pump across the photosynthetic membrane. Conclusions about the
structure of the photosystem II reaction center from plants are drawn, and
aspects of membrane protein structure are discussed.
