Description
Summary:The paper is devoted to computer simulation of complex formation of protein plastocyanin with transmembrane pigment-protein complex photosystem I and subunit f of cytochrome b 6 f complex in the cyanobacterium Phormidium laminosum . The computer algorithm considers diffusion and electrostatic interactions of protein molecules. The computer models have shown that electrostatic interactions in the cyanobacterium play a less important role than in higher plants because of different electrostatic potentials created by charged amino acid residues on the protein surfaces.
