Abstract: Most of the membrane proteins that have been crystallized to date have been those involved in membrane-transport processes, because such proteins need to have a rigid structure. However, the plant photosystem II protein has proved refractory to crystallization, so its structure has now been solved by another method — electron crystallography. The structure has many similarities with bacterial reaction centres, and provides striking evidence that they have a common evolutionary origin.
