Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of an integral membrane light-harvesting complex from photosynthetic bacteria

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the light harvesting antenna complex (LH2) from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila strain 10050 showed that the active assembly consists of two concentric cylinders of helical protein subunits which enclose the pigment molecules as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of human chorionic gonadotropin.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of human chorionic gonadotropin shows that each of its two different subunits has a similar topology, with three disulphide bonds forming a cystine knot, which is essential for receptor binding by the glyco-protein hormones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of the RC-LH1 core complex from Rhodopseudomonas palustris.

TL;DR: A break in the crystal structure of the reaction center–light harvesting 1 (RC–LH1) core complex from Rhodopseudomonas palustris may provide a portal through which UQB can transfer electrons to cytochrome b/c1.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure and thermal motion of the B800-850 LH2 complex from Rps.acidophila at 2.0A resolution and 100K: new structural features and functionally relevant motions.

TL;DR: The calculated energy changes indicate that there may be significant contributions to inter-pigment energy interactions from molecular displacements and these may be of importance to photosynthetic energy transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of Bordetella pertussis virulence factor P.69 pertactin.

TL;DR: A NEW generation of whooping-cough vaccines contain P.69 pertactin, a surface-exposed domain of an outer membrane protein expressed by the virulent bacterium Bordetella pertussis1–3, a virulence factor that mediates adhesion to target mammalian cells, a reaction that is in part mediated by an RGB sequence.
