Interactions between the Orange Carotenoid Protein and the phycobilisomes in cyanobacterial photoprotection

Too much light can be lethal for photosynthetic organisms. Under such conditionsharmful reactive oxygen species are generated at the reaction center level. Cyanobacteria havedeveloped photoprotective mechanisms to avoid this. One of them relies on the solubleOrange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) that bind...
