Structural biology: Dual approach to a light problem
Werner Kühlbrandt1
Abstract
The structure of the last of the major pigment-containing protein complexes involved in photosynthesis is now revealed. The details complete our picture of electron shuttling in this vital process.
It is not uncommon for notable scientific progress to be made simultaneously by two independent teams of researchers. The latest example concerns the long-awaited structure of the cytochrome b6f complex, described by Stroebel et al. on page 413 of this issue1 and by Kurisu et al. in Science2.
- Werner Kühlbrandt is at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, Marie-Curie-Strasse 15, D-60439 Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
