Abstract excerpt
Conformational changes near the bacteriochlorophyll dimer induced by continuous illumination were identified in the wild type and 11 different mutants of reaction centers from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The properties of the bacteriochlorophyll dimer, which has a different hydrogen bonding pattern with the surrounding protein in each mutant, were characterized by steady-state and transient optical spectroscopy....
