Bacteriochlorophyll Protein Maquettes

  • Chapter
Chlorophylls and Bacteriochlorophylls

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 25))

Abstract

The photosystems of plants and photosynthetic bacteria are robust, adaptable and highly efficient light-harvesting/charge-separating systems that use chlorophylls (Chls) or bacteriochlorophylls (BChls) as photoreceptors. These solar energy collectors are built for increased light absorbance by providing environmental control over large pigment arrays with as little protein mass as possible. We wish to resolve the features of protein architecture necessary for effective light harvesting and electron transfer per se from other features of the natural protein some of which may be simply historical accidents.
