Fig. 5: Major energy transfer pathways within the PSII C2S2M2L2 supercomplex.

The upper part of the PSII model shows the main overall FRET pathway from the outer LHCII to the PSII core complex (magenta arc arrow), going from the L-LHCII trimer through the M-LHCII to the S-LHCII trimer and to CP43, the inner antenna of the core complex. At the bottom of the PSII model, the arrows of different colors indicate approximate lifetimes of efficient FRET processes from adjacent subunits of LHCII subunits (L-/M-/S-LHCII trimers, Lhcb4 and Lhcb5) towards the core complex (CP43 and CP47). The PSII C2S2M2L2 supercomplex is shown from the lumenal side and the subunits of the oxygen-evolving complex (PsbO-Q) are hidden for clarity. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
