Claim 1biological functionsupports2017Source 1DOI

Light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane absorb light and transfer excitation energy to photochemically active reaction centers.

Claim 2mechanismsupports2017Source 1DOI

Non-photochemical quenching tightly regulates efficient light-harvesting capacity to avoid stress-induced destruction of the catalytic reaction center.

Claim 3mechanismsupports2017Source 1DOI

Regulated conformational flexibility allows light-harvesting complexes to switch between efficient light-harvesting and a photoprotective function.

Claim 4method usesupports2017Source 1DOI

Single-molecule fluorescence measurements on plant light-harvesting complexes can bridge understanding between the smallest isolated complexes and the native photosystem.
