Three-dimensional reconstruction of a membrane-bending complex: the RC-LH1-PufX core dimer of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 16 May 2008

Qian Pu, Bullough Per A, Hunter C Neil

Abstract excerpt

A three-dimensional model of the dimeric reaction center-light harvesting I-PufX (RC-LH1-PufX) complex from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, calculated from electron microscope single particle analysis of negatively stained complexes, shows that the two halves of the dimer molecule incline toward each other on the periplasmic side, creating a remarkable V-shaped structure. The distribution of negative stain is consistent...
