  • fotosüsteemide antenni tsentrist kaugemalpaiknevad perifeersed pigment-valk kompleksid, vastavalt VKKI (LHCI) fotosüsteemis I ja VKKII (LHCII) fotosüsteemis II
  • A light-harvesting complex has a complex of subunit proteins that may be part of a larger supercomplex of a photosystem, the functional unit in photosynthesis. It is used by plants and photosynthetic bacteria to collect more of the incoming light than would be captured by the photosynthetic reaction center alone. Light-harvesting complexes are found in a wide variety among the different photosynthetic species. The complexes consist of proteins and photosynthetic pigments and surround a photosynthetic reaction center to focus energy, attained from photons absorbed by the pigment, toward the reaction center using Förster resonance energy transfer.
