Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2025 Title: A distinct double-ring LH1-LH2 photocomplex from an extremophilic phototroph.

Here we present a cryo-EM structure of the native LH1-LH2 co-complex from strain BN9622 at 2.22 Å resolution. Surprisingly, the LH1-LH2 co-complex consists of a double-ring cylindrical structure with the larger LH1 ring encircling a smaller LH2 ring. The Hlr. halophila LH1 contains 18 αβ-subunits and additional bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a) molecules that absorb maximally at 797 nm. The LH2 ring is composed of 9 αβ-subunits, and the BChl a molecules in the co-complex form extensive intra- and inter-complex networks to allow near 100% efficiency of energy transfer to its surrounding LH1. The additional LH1-B797 BChls a are located in such a manner that they facilitate exciton transfer from monomeric BChls in LH2 to the dimeric BChls in LH1. The structural features of the strain BN9622 LH1-LH2 co-complex may have evolved to allow a minimal LH2 complex to maximize excitation transfer to the core complex and effectively harvest light in the physiologically demanding ecological niche of this purple bacterium.
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.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
