The paper presents the X-ray structure of reconstituted PSII from Thermosynechococcus vulcanus, identifying structural changes linked to reduced oxygen evolution activity.

This study purifies and analyzes PSI-LHCI supercomplexes from Euglena gracilis, revealing a unique pigment profile including diadinoxanthin and distinct from green-lineage organisms.

The paper identifies a novel chlorophyll a/b-binding protein, RedCAP, in the PSI-LHCI supercomplexes of Galdieria sulphuraria, highlighting its distinct binding properties and spectral characteristics compared to LHC proteins.

The paper reports cryo-EM structures of PSI-FCPI complexes from Thalassiosira pseudonana under high light, revealing light-adaptive strategies and convergent evolution in diatom FCPIs.

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of a diatom PSI-FCPI supercomplex, identifies FCPI subunits, and reveals protein-protein interactions and evolutionary conservation of binding motifs.
