摘要
In chloroplast photosystem II, the extrinsic polypeptide of 33 kDa is involved in the stabilization the Mn cluster in charge of water splitting and in the fulfillment of the Ca2+-cofactor requirement for oxygen evolution. The conformational analysis of the purified 33 kDa extrinsic polypeptide was carried out using FTIR spectroscopy with its self-deconvolution and second derivative resolution enhancement as well as curve-fitting procedures. The FTIR spectroscopic results showed that the isolated polypeptide is characterized by a major proportion beta-sheet conformation (36%) with 27% alpha-helix, 24% turn, and 13% beta-antiparallel structures.
