Hydrogen Bonding in Biological Structures
George A. Jeffrey,Wolfram Saenger +1 more
- 17 Jul 1991
TL;DR: In this article, the van der Waals Radii cut-off criterion is used to define the strong and weak hydrogen-bond configurations, as well as the relationship between two-center and three-center hydrogen bonds.

Patrick Jordan,Petra Fromme,Horst Toblas Witt,Olaf Klukas,Wolfram Saenger,Norbert Krauss,Norbert Krauss +6 more
TL;DR: The crystal structure of photosystem I from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus described in this paper provides a picture at atomic detail of 12 protein subunits and 127 cofactors comprising 96 chlorophylls, 2 phylloquinones, 3 Fe4S4 clusters, 22 carotenoids, 4 lipids, a putative Ca2+ ion and 201 water molecules.

Crystal structure of photosystem II from Synechococcus elongatus at 3.8 A resolution.
Athina Zouni,Horst Tobias Witt,Jan Kern,Petra Fromme,Norbert Krauss,Wolfram Saenger,Peter Orth +6 more
TL;DR: The X-ray structure of photosystem II is described on the basis of crystals fully active in water oxidation, shows how protein subunits and cofactors are spatially organized and the larger subunits are assigned and the locations and orientations of the cofacters are defined.

Cyclodextrin Inclusion Compounds in Research and Industry
TL;DR: As cyclodextrins catalyze several chemical reactions they and their functionalized derivatives provide useful enzyme models and can be used to advantage in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, foodstuffs, and toilet articles.

Towards complete cofactor arrangement in the 3.0 Å resolution structure of photosystem II
TL;DR: The most complete cyanobacterial photosystem II structure obtained so far is described, showing locations of and interactions between 20 protein subunits and 77 cofactors per monomer, and provides information about the Mn4Ca cluster, where oxidation of water takes place.
