Here, we show a novel supramolecular organization of photosystem I (PSI) in the moss Physcomitrella patens by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. The moss-specific light-harvesting complex (LHC) protein Lhcb9 is involved in this PSI supercomplex, which has been shown to have a molecular density similar to that of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Our results show that the structural organization is unexpectedly different-two rows of the LHCI belt exist as in C. reinhardtii, but the outer one is shifted toward the PsaK side. Furthermore, one trimeric LHC protein and one monomeric LHC protein position alongside PsaL/K, filling the gap between these subunits and the outer LHCI belt. We provide evidence showing that Lhcb9 is a key factor, acting as a linkage between the PSI core and the outer LHCI belt to form the unique supramolecular organization of the PSI supercomplex in P. patens.

In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
