Protein Domain : Peridinin-chlorophyll A binding superfamily

Primary Identifier  IPR036550 Type  Homologous_superfamily
Short Name  Peridinin-chlorophyll-bd_sf
description  Peridinin-chlorophyll-protein, a water-soluble light-harvesting complex that has a blue-green absorbing carotenoid as its main pigment, is present in most photosynthetic dinoflagellates. These proteins are composed of two similar repeated domains. These domains constitute a scaffold with pseudo-twofold symmetry surrounding a hydrophobic cavity filled by two lipid, eight peridinin, and two chlorophyll a molecules []. They have a multihelical fold which forms a boat-shaped protein shell around cofactors.
