The lipid molecules at the interfaces between LHCII/CP26/CP29 and PSII core complexes. A Side view of the interfacial lipid molecules between CP26 and CP43. B The zoom-in views of the lipid-binding sites in the blue and green dashed boxes shown in A. In the blue dashed box area (upper part), two PG molecules on the stromal side mediate the interactions between CP26 and CP43. In the green dashed box area (lower part), one MGDG molecule is located on the luminal side of the interface between CP26 and CP43. C Side view of the interfacial lipid molecules between S-LHCII and CP43. D Zoom-in view of the three PG molecules on the stromal side of the interface between S-LHCII and CP43. E Side view of the interfacial lipid molecules between CP29 and CP47. F Zoom-in view of the three lipid-binding sites on the luminal side of the interface between CP29 and CP47. The lipid molecules and amino acid residues involved in binding the lipid molecules are highlighted as stick models, while the protein backbones are shown as silver cartoon models. The chlorophyll molecules are shown as sphere models
