Fine tuning of the spectral properties of LH2 by single amino acid residues.

Photosynthesis research - 1 May 2008

Silber Martina V, Gabriel Günther, Strohmann Brigitte, Garcia-Martin Adela, Robert Bruno, Braun Paula

Abstract excerpt

The peripheral light-harvesting complex, LH2, of Rhodobacter sphaeroides consists of an assembly of membrane-spanning alpha and beta polypeptides which assemble the photoactive bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoid molecules. In this study we systematically investigated bacteriochlorophyll-protein interactions and their effect on functional bacteriochlorophyll assembly by site-directed mutations of the LH2...
