Abstract excerpt
The tetraheme cytochrome subunits of the photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) in two species of purple bacteria, Rubrivivax gelatinosus and Blastochloris (Rhodopseudomonas) viridis, were compared in terms of their capabilities to bind different electron-donor proteins. The wild-type RCs from both species and mutated forms of R. gelatinosus RCs (with amino acid substitutions introduced to the binding domain for...
