Polarized Infrared Spectroscopy of Bacterial Reaction Centers: The LMH and LM Complexes in Reconstituted Membrane

  • Chapter
Advances in Photosynthesis Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology ((AABI,volume 2))

Abstract

The bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (RC) of Rps. sphaeroides is composed of three protein subunits called L, M, H, having the respective molecular weight of 28000, 32000, 36000 as determined from the amino acid compositions (1). After isolation of the RC, the H subunit can be removed and all of the chromophores remain in the final LM complex which is still fully functional with respect to the primary light-induced reactions (1–3).
