Regulation of light-harvesting and photoprotection are important components of research into photosynthetic mechanisms. The crystal structure of the light-harvesting complex (LHCII) provides an important foundation for this research. To further confirm the functional state of the LHC-II structure, Prof. Wenrui Chang's group collaborated with scientists in France, the Netherlands and the UK to explore the spectroscopic analysis of this crystal form, and showed that the structure |

is that of an energy dissipative state of LHC-II. This result provides novel information for understanding the mechanisms of energy dissipation and conformational change in LHC-II.
