This suggests a dual role for these Chl a both in excitation energy and electron transfer. The architecture of the protein core indicates quinone and iron-sulphur type reaction centres to have a common ancestor. Photosystem I at 4 A resolution represents the first structural model of a joint photosynthetic reaction centre and core antenna system.,Krauss N, Schubert WD, Klukas O, Fromme P, Witt HT, Saenger W Nat Struct Biol. 1996 Nov;3(11):965-73.
