Figure 5
Structure of the icosahedral assembly of LHC-II. (a) View of the whole assembly along a twofold symmetry axis, overlaid on a T = 1 icosahedral lattice (white line). Polypeptides are drawn in a ribbon representation (gold) and chlorophylls are drawn in CPK representation (green). (b) Enlarged view showing the relative positions of neighbouring trimers. Each subunit of the protein is composed of three transmembrane helices (AB and C) and a short helix (D) located near the lumenal surface of the membrane and 12 chlorophyll molecules (shown as a wire model). The shaded arc represents a hypothetical hydrophobic region of the lipid–detergent bilayer. (a) was drawn with VMD (Humphrey et al., 1996BB12) and POV-Ray (https://www.povray.org ) and (b) with MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991BB15) and RASTER3D (Merritt & Murphy, 1994BB22).
