Abstract excerpt
Energy transfer within various LH2 antenna complexes of the photosynthetic purple bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodopseudomonas acidophila has been studied at 77 K using tunable femtosecond and subpicosecond infrared pulses. The complexes examined include the wild-type B800-850 as well as three different specifically mutated complexes. The site-directed mutant strains were altered at positions 44 and 45...
