Deskripsi
Bacterial photosynthesis reflects the early stages of the evolution of photosynthesis. Here, the authors present a systematic study of the cryo-EM structures of the dimeric light harvesting–reaction center complexes and assembly variants from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, which delineated a hierarchical assembly pathway and quinone transport routes of the dimeric photosynthetic RC–LH1 core complex.
