The 21 kDa apoprotein of LHC IId, a minor light‐harvesting antenna component of Photosystem II, has been isolated and subjected to N‐tenninal protein sequencing. A sequence of 66 residues was obtained which contains regions of considerable homology to both those reported for LHC II and LHC I, but which is obviously distinct from them. The proposed occurrence of an identical 21 kDa LHC subunit in both photosystems I and II is shown to be incorrect.
