Abstract excerpt
Reconstitution experiments with a chemically synthesized core light-harvesting (LH1) beta-polypeptide analogue having 3-methylhistidine instead of histidine in the position that normally donates the coordinating ligand to bacteriochlorophyll (Bchl) have provided the experimental data needed to assign to B820 one of the two possible alphabeta.2Bchl pairs that are observed in the crystal structure of LH2 from...
