Structure-function relationship in peridinin-chlorophyll proteins
Original language description
An important component of the photosynthetic apparatus is a light-harvesting system that captures light energy and transfers it efficiently to the reaction center. Depending on environmental conditions, photosynthetic antennas have adopted various strategies for this function. The water soluble antenna complex of dinoflagellates, peridinin-chlorophyll a protein (PCP), represents a unique light-harvesting strategy because, unlike other antenna systems which have a preponderance of chlorophyll, the carotenoid peridinin serves in PCP as the major light-harvesting pigment. The key structural feature of peridinin is a conjugated carbonyl group which makes the spectroscopic properties of peridinin very sensitive to its local environment. This property is a crucial factor for maintaining the high efficiency of energy transfer between peridinin and Chl a in PCP. PCP is also amenable to site-directed mutagenesis and reconstitution with different pigments, allowing to study effects of both pigme
