Abstract:

Large and well ordered two dimensional (2D) crystals of the light harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein complexes (LHC II) from cucumber and spinach chloroplasts were produced by the so called batch method. The two dimensional structures of these crystals were examined at about 1.5 nm resolution by electron microscopy and image processing. The projection maps showed that there were similar, but not identical, structure features between two different LHC II complexes. A comparison between 2D crystal formations of the two different LHC II complexes was done and some factors affecting 2D crystallization of the membrane proteins were analyzed. The relations of the structures of the LHC II complexes to their polypeptide components and Chl a/b ratio were also discussed.
