Abstract excerpt
Qy-excitation resonance Raman (RR) spectra are reported for two mutant reactions centers (RCs) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides in which the photoactive bacteriopheophytin (BPhL) is replaced by a bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) molecule, designated by beta L. One mutation, (M)L214H, yields the pigment change via introduction of a histidine residue at position M214. The other mutation, (M)L214H/(L)-E104V, removes the...
