High-resolution model of Arabidopsis Photosystem II reveals the structural consequences of digitonin-extraction

Abstract In higher plants, the photosynthetic process is performed and regulated by Photosystem II (PSII). Arabidopsis thaliana was the first higher plant with a fully sequenced genome, conferring it the status of a model organism; nonetheless, a high-resolution structure of its Photosystem II is mi...
