Photosystem I and II (PSI and PSII) are two multisubunit pigment-protein complexes embedded in the thylakoid membranes of higher plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, and carry out light capture and subsequent photochemical reactions in oxygenic photosynthesis. PSI and PSII each consist of core complexes and its peripheral antenna systems. The core complexes of PSI and PSII are highly conserved, whereas the outer antenna systems varies remarkably in different organisms as a result of adaptation to different light conditions. Artistically, photosystems will never disappoint you... See how it looks like ... CryoEM structure of the PSI-LHCI from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with bound ferredoxin (PDB code: 7WZN)
