The structures and environments of the protein-bound peridinins (Pers) and chlorophylls (Chls) a/c2 in the membrane-intrinsic major light-harvesting complex of the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae (LHCAmph) are characterised using resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy with 11 excitation wavelengths, at 77K. The excitation-dependent

Protein complexes represent major functional units for the execution of biological processes. Systematic affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry (AP-MS) yielded a wealth of information on the compendium of protein complexes expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, global AP-MS analysis of
