Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association The number of antigenically related proteins correlates with the number of LHC gene types sequenced in higher plants.
- Observation The antibodies reacted specifically with chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins of three diatoms and Coccolithophora sp.
- Observation Four to six cross-reacting proteins were observed in each chromophyte species.
- Observation The authors infer that at least some domains of the chlorophyll-binding LHC apoproteins have been conserved during evolution.
