Abstract
The supramolecular organisation of photosynthetic membranes is of great importance to the efficiency and regulatability of photosynthesis in higher plants and cyanobacteria, and is vital to the efficiency of purple bacteria. Examples include mobile light harvesting systems which control energy flow, electron transport and functional heterogeneity. Knowing the organisation of various membrane proteins is thus important in gaining an understanding of the photosynthetic process as a whole. We will apply chemical difference and electrostatic mapping methods, already successfully developed and used in my group, to further our understanding of this supramolecular architecture.
