Top view of a model membrane containing all the proteins of the photosynthetic unit in Rhodospirillum photometricum: LH2 light harvesting complexes and core complexes, consisting of LH1 light harvesting complexes surrounding reaction centers. The structures of the individual complexes were assembled following the arrangement observed in the native membrane by atomic force microscopy. The image was composed by Simon Scheuring from the Institut Curie, Paris, France, whose accompanying article will appear in one of the next printed issues of The EMBO Journal.
