چکیده
Absorption spectra and light-induced absorbance changes of crystals from Rhodopseudomonas viridis reaction centers are recorded. A theoretical analysis of the absorption and circular dichroism spectra is presented, yielding a consistent picture of spectroscopic and structural information.

Two-dimensional crystals formed from photosynthetic reaction centers
Photosynthetic reaction centers from the bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis were prepared after detergent solubilization of photosynthetic membranes. The purified reaction centers, in agreement with reports from other laboratories, contain four distinct polypeptides ranging in molecular weight from 28,000 to 41,000. When the detergent was gradually removed by dialysis under appropriate conditio...
متن کاملStructural homology of reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides and Rhodopseudomonas viridis as determined by x-ray diffraction.
Crystals of the reaction center (RC) from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides with the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), have been studied by x-ray diffraction. The Patterson search (molecular replacement) technique was used to analyze the data, with the structure of the reaction center from Rhodopseudomonas viridis as a model system. A preliminary electron density map of the reaction center from R. sphaeroi...

متن کاملFirst glance on the three-dimensional structure of the photosynthetic reaction center from a herbicide-resistant Rhodopseudomonas viridis mutant.
A first model of the three-dimensional structure of the photosynthetic reaction center of the mutant T1 (SerL223----Ala, ArgL217----His) from Rhodopseudomonas viridis, resistant toward the triazine herbicide terbutryn (2-methylthio-4-ethylamino-6-t-butylamino-s-triazine), has been developed from X-ray data measured to a resolution of 2.5 A. The secondary quinone, QB, which in T1 binds better th...
متن کاملLight-induced charge separation in Rhodopseudomonas viridis reaction centers monitored by Fourier-transform infrared difference spectroscopy: the quinone vibrations.
Static FTIR light-induced difference spectra have been recorded for reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas viridis in the following charge-separated states: P+QA(-)-PQA, P+QB(-)-PQB, I(-)-I, I-QA(-)-IQA, and I-QA(2-)-IQA. A comparison of the I(-)-I difference spectra with the I-QA(-)-IQA difference spectra reveals new bands which can be assigned to QA- vibrations; these vibrations are also obse...
