متن کاملCircular Dichroism of Light-harvesting Complexes from Purple Photosynthetic Bacteria*
The CD spectra of a range of antenna complexes from several different species of purple photosynthetic bacteria were recorded in the wavelength range of 190 to 930 nm. Analysis of the far UV CD (190 to 250 nm) showed that in each case except for the B800-850 from Chr. vinosum the secondary structure of the light-harvesting complexes contains a large amount of a-helix ( 2 5 0 % ) and very little...
متن کاملThe petite purple photosynthetic powerpack.
Photoreaction centres are Nature's solar batteries. These nanometre-scale power producers are responsible for transducing the energy of sunlight into a form that can be used by biological systems, thereby powering most of the biological activity on the planet. Although to the layman the word 'photosynthesis' is usually associated with green plants, much of our understanding of the molecular bas...
متن کاملArchitecture and mechanism of the light-harvesting apparatus of purple bacteria.
Photosynthetic organisms fuel their metabolism with light energy and have developed for this purpose an efficient apparatus for harvesting sunlight. The atomic structure of the apparatus, as it evolved in purple bacteria, has been constructed through a combination of x-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, and modeling. The detailed structure and overall architecture reveals a hierarchical ...
