Photosynthesis, the conversion of sunlight into energy that is available to sustain cellular
metabolism, is accomplished by a diverse group of organisms. The present photosynthetic …

In this paper, we describe the water‐exposed, periplasmic surface of the bacterial
photosynthetic reaction center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides R‐26. This surface contains …

the cytochrome binding site on the reaction center of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides was …

The availability of the photosynthetic reaction center's structure at an atomic resolution of
less than three angstroms has revolutionized research. This protein is the first integral …

An aspartic acid residue has been introduced near ring V of the L-side accessory
bacteriochlorophyll (BChlL) of the photosynthetic reaction center in a Rhodobacter …

The photosystem I reaction center complex of the photosynthetic prokaryote Prochloron,
present as a symbiont in ascidians from the Red Sea at Eilat (Israel), was isolated and …

The chlorophylls are a small group of compounds with closely related structures that are
universally acknowledged to be the indispensible photoreceptors in plant and bacterial …

Electron donation from the soluble cytochrome (cyt) c 2 to the photooxidized primary donor,
P+, of reaction centers isolated from Rhodobacter sphaeroides was studied by using …

Photosynthesis was established on Earth more than 3 billion years ago. All available
evidences suggest that the earliest photosynthetic organisms were anoxygenic and that …
