Analysis of the solution structure of Thermosynechococcus elongatus photosystem I in n-dodecyl-β-d-maltoside using small-angle neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulation

Dummy-atom reconstruction of trimeric photosystem I (green) from Thermosynechococcus elongatus in DDM detergent (gray). (A) Stromal side up view and (B) side view and MD simulation (C) stromal side up view and (D) side view show that the detergent forms a non-uniform belt around the hydrophobic regions of the protein complex.
