Abstract excerpt
The pH and temperature dependences of tyrosine oxidation were measured in reaction centers from mutants of Rhodobacter sphaeroides containing a tyrosine residue near a highly oxidizing bacteriochlorophyll dimer. Under continuous illumination, a rapid increase in the absorption change at 420 nm was observed because of the formation of a charge-separated state involving the oxidized dimer and reduced primary...
