Plant photosynthesis is a highly organized supramolecular process in which multiple biomolecules assemble into large, functional architectures within the chloroplast. The key supramolecular features involve the precise self-assembly of pigments, proteins, and cofactors into photosynthetic complexes embedded in the thylakoid membrane. These organized structures enable efficient light harvesting, energy transfer, and charge separation. The light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) are prime examples of supramolecular organization. They consist of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and specific proteins arranged in a defined spatial geometry. Chlorophyll molecules are non-covalently bound to protein scaffolds through hydrogen bonding, coordination interactions with metal ions (such as Mg²⁺), van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions.
