Electronic pathway in reaction centers from Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Chloroflexus aurantiacus.
The reaction centers (RC) of Chloroflexus aurantiacus and Rhodobacter sphaeroidesH(M182)L mutant were investigated. Prediction for electron transfer (ET) at very low temperatures was also performed. To describe the kinetics of the C. aurantiacus RCs, the incoherent model of electron transfer was used. It was shown that the asymmetry in electronic coupling parameters must be included to explain ...
متن کاملProton and electron transfer in the acceptor quinone complex of photosynthetic reaction centers from Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
For twenty years the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) has been the premier testing ground for theoretical understanding of electron transfer in aperiodic systems, with special, but not unique, reference to long distance biological electron transport. In addition to the known structure, many of the attributes that make RCs so well suited to studying electron transfer function equally well for...
متن کاملPhosphorescence from the primary electron donor in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodopseudomonas viridis reaction centers
Phosphorescence has been detected from the dimeric primary electron donor in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodopseudomonas viridis reaction centers. For Rb. sphaeroides the emission maximum occurs at 1318 + 2 nm at 20 K and is nearly independent of temperature. The emission linewidth (full width at half maximum) is 240 + 20 cm-! at 20 K and increases to 580 + 40 cm-i at 280 K. The phosphorescenc...
متن کاملSpecific alteration of the oxidation potential of the electron donor in reaction centers from Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
The effects of multiple changes in hydrogen bond interactions between the electron donor, a bacteriochlorophyll dimer, and histidine residues in the reaction center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides have been investigated. Site-directed mutations were designed to add or remove hydrogen bonds between the 2-acetyl groups of the dimer and histidine residues at the symmetry-related sites His-L168 and Ph...
متن کاملA bicyclic autotrophic CO2 fixation pathway in Chloroflexus aurantiacus.
Phototrophic CO(2) assimilation by the primitive, green eubacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus has been shown earlier to proceed in a cyclic mode via 3-hydroxypropionate, propionyl-CoA, succinyl-CoA, and malyl-CoA. The metabolic cycle could be closed by cleavage of malyl-CoA affording glyoxylate (the primary CO(2) fixation product) with regeneration of acetyl-CoA serving as the starter unit of th...
