We report the 2.4 Ångström resolution structure of the light-harvesting 2 (LH2) complex from <i>Marichromatium</i> (<i>Mch.</i>) <i>purpuratum</i> determined by cryogenic electron microscopy. The structure contains a heptameric ring that is unique among all known LH2 structures, explaining the unusual spectroscopic properties of this bacterial antenna complex. We identify two sets of distinct carotenoids in the structure and describe a network of energy transfer pathways from the carotenoids to ...[more]
