In Fig. 1a in the original article, the amino acid side chains were incorrectly labeled in the structure representation of the orange carotenoid protein (OCP). The corrected figure is printed in this erratum.

A model of electron transport from cytochrome f to photosystem I mediated by plastocyanin was designed on the basis of the multiparticle Brownian dynamics method. The model combines events which occur over a wide time range, including protein diffusion along the thylakoid membrane, long-distance interactions between proteins, formation of a multiprotein complex, electron transfer within a complex and complex dissociation. Results of the modeling were compared with the experimental kinetics measured in chloroplast thylakoids.

Photoprotection in cyanobacteria relies on the interplay between the orange carotenoid protein (OCP) and the fluorescence recovery protein (FRP) in a process termed non-photochemical quenching, NPQ. Illumination with blue-green light converts OCP from the basic orange state (OCP) into the red-shifted, active state (OCP) that quenches phycobilisome (PBs) fluorescence to avoid excessive energy flow to the photosynthetic reaction centers. Upon binding of FRP, OCP is converted to OCP and dissociates from PBs; however, the mode and site of OCP/FRP interactions remain elusive.
