Partial symmetrization of the photosynthetic reaction center.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 15 Jun 1990

Robles S J, Breton J, Youvan D C

Abstract excerpt

The bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (RC) is a pigmented intrinsic membrane protein that performs the primary charge separation event of photosynthesis, thereby converting light to chemical energy. The RC pigments are bound primarily by two homologous peptides, the L and M subunits, each containing five transmembrane helices. These alpha helices and pigments are arranged in an approximate C2 symmetry and...
