Abstract excerpt
Light-induced P+QB-/PQB FTIR difference spectra of reaction centers (RCs) have been obtained from chromatophores lacking light-harvesting B800-850 antenna for Rhodobacter capsulatus wild type (WT) and for the two mutants HisM200-->Leu and HisL173-->Leu. The primary donor (P) in both mutants consi...
