Abstract
The core complex of photosystem 2 has been isolated by means of detergents from a number of higher plants and algae. This complex resolves by SDS-PAGE into five main polypeptides but the composition of the functional unit is at present uncertain. We have used the halotolerant alga Dunaliella salina to investigate the composition of photosystem 2 and here we report on the stoichiometry and turnover rates of the polypeptides of the core complex.
