Structure of the photosynthetic reaction centre viewed with Chime

The L-chain is light blue; the M-chain is green; the H-chain, predominantly exposed to the cytoplasmic phase, is yellow; the cytochrome c, in the periplasm, is dark blue. The L and M chains are symmetrically arranged around an axis that is roughly perpendicular to the photosynthetic membrane. Zoom in (shift + drag) and choose "Sticks" from "Display" to see the haems, bacteriochlorophylls and other prosthetic groups coloured red. |
