  • Lhcb6, a minor LHCP, contains Gly instead of Pro at the position analogous to 82 in Lhcb1, thus eliminating the peptide bond carbonyl of Gly as a ligand, but Lhcb6 has a potential ligand for Chl b in Gln83 [ 39 40 ] . These two LHCP sub-species, along with Lhca4 are most affected by the lack of Chl b in vivo [ 5 ] . Lhcb4 (apoprotein of CP29) has Val instead of Pro at 'position 82', and the absence of site a 6 in Lhcb4 may contribute to its drastic reduction in Chl b -less mutants [ 5 8 ] .
