Merged summary

TL;DR - Cryo-EM reveals the native membrane structure of the rice photosystem II–light harvesting complex II supercomplex. The in situ view preserves proteins and lipids typically lost during purification, offering a more physiologically accurate picture of plant photosynthesis machinery.

  • Examines the supercomplex in Oryza sativa (rice).
  • Resolves intact photosystem architecture within its native membrane.
  • Retains physiologically relevant proteins and lipids absent from purified samples.
  • Demonstrates the value of in situ structural analysis for studying native molecular organization.
