Calculations of Spectroscopic Properties of Bacterial Reaction Centers

  • Conference paper
Antennas and Reaction Centers of Photosynthetic Bacteria

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 42))

Abstract

The recent crystallographic work of DEISENHOFER et al. [1] has provided a beautifully detailed map of the structure of a photosynthetic bacterial reaction center (RC). With such a map in hand, it now is possible to explore the connection between the structure and the RC’s complicated spectroscopic properties. An understanding of this connection is critical, if we are to have an accurate picture of how the RC captures the energy of light.
