Photosystem II complex in vivo is a monomer.
Photosystem II (PS II) complexes are membrane protein complexes that are composed of >20 distinct subunit proteins. Similar to many other membrane protein complexes, two PS II complexes are believed to form a homo-dimer whose molecular mass is approximately 650 kDa. Contrary to this well known concept, we propose that the functional form of PS II in vivo is a monomer, based on the following obs...
متن کاملMonomer-dimer mixture on a honeycomb lattice.
We study a monomer-dimer mixture defined on a honeycomb lattice as a toy model for the spin-ice system in a magnetic field. In a low-doping region of monomers, the effective description of this system is given by the dual sine-Gordon model. In intermediate- and strong-doping regions, the Potts lattice gas theory can be employed. Synthesizing these results, we construct a renormalization-group f...
متن کاملA Reciprocity Theorem for Monomer-Dimer Coverings
The problem of counting monomer-dimer coverings of a lattice is a longstanding problem in statistical mechanics. It has only been exactly solved for the special case of dimer coverings in two dimensions ((Kas61), (TF61)). In earlier work, Stanley (Sta85) proved a reciprocity principle governing the number N(m,n) of dimer coverings of an m by n rectangular grid (also known as perfect matchings),...
متن کاملDimer-monomer dissociation of human hemoglobin A.
Isolated 3H-labeled human hemoglobin alpha chains were incubated with unlabeled carbonmonoxyhemoglobin A for 72 h in 0.01 M potassium phosphate, pH 7.0, at 25 degrees C. Following separation of the free alpha chain monomers and Hb A (alpha 2 beta 2) tetramers by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate strips or by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose columns, analysis of radioactivity showed a slow tr...
متن کاملChlorophyll a dimer: a possible primary electron donor for the photosystem II.
In the photosynthetic membrane, there is a particular aggregated state for the chlorophyll a (Chl a) molecules with a specific arrangement responsible for the high efficiency of energy conversion. Chl a monolayers, transferred onto solid substrates, are systems that potentially can mimic the packing of the in vivo system. The association of Chl a in the monolayer results in the formation of dim...
