Involvement of the Lhcx protein Fcp6 of the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana in the macro-organization and structural flexibility of thylakoid membranes

2016 / Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics

Diatoms possess special light-harvesting proteins involved in the photoprotection mechanism called non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). These Lhcx proteins were shown to… Continue reading Involvement of the Lhcx protein Fcp6 of the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana in the macro-organization and structural flexibility of thylakoid membranes
