STRUCTURE OF THE MEMBRANE-BOUND PROTEIN PHOTOSYNTHETIC REACTION CENTER FROM RHODOBACTER SPHAEROIDES
Overview
The structure of the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) from Rhodobacter, sphaeroides was determined at 3.1-A resolution by the molecular, replacement method, using the Rhodopseudomonas viridis RC as the search, structure. Atomic coordinates were refined with the difference Fourier, method and restrained least-squares refinement techniques to a current R, factor of 22%. The tertiary structure of the RC complex is stabilized by, hydrophobic interactions between the L and M chains, by interactions of, the pigments with each other and with the L and M chains, by residues from, the L and M chains that coordinate to the Fe2+, by salt bridges that are, formed between the L and M chains and the H chain, and possibly by, electrostatic forces between the ends of helices. The conserved residues, at the N-termini of the L and M chains were identified as recognition, sites for the H chain.
