Membrane curvature induced by aggregates of LH2s and monomeric LH1s.

Biophysical journal - 2 Dec 2009

Chandler Danielle E, Gumbart James, Stack John D, Chipot Christophe, Schulten Klaus

Abstract excerpt

The photosynthetic apparatus of purple bacteria is contained within organelles called chromatophores, which form as extensions of the cytoplasmic membrane. The shape of these chromatophores can be spherical (as in Rhodobacter sphaeroides), lamellar (as in Rhodopseudomonas acidophila and Phaeospirillum molischianum), or tubular (as in certain Rb. sphaeroides mutants). Chromatophore shape is thought to be...
