While we understand how photosynthesis works, ostensibly, not all the biological structural components have been explained.
For cyanobacteria, it is the carboxysomes, critical to CO2 processing, that have defied the attempts of most to analyze.
Now, King's College London researchers have used cryo electron microscopy to create a working atomic model of them.
