Figure 4

Comparison of the binding site of chlorophyll b and lutein molecules. (A) Stereo representation of the superimposition of the crystallized spinach CAB (green) and the modeled LI818 protein Cre_23 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (cyan). (B) Stereo representation of the superimposition of the crystallized spinach CAB (green) and the modeled LHC Esi_02 (brown). The view is a zoom on the region comprising the helix α2. The chlorophyll and lutein molecules bound to the spinach CBP are represented in balls and sticks, with the CPK color code.
