X-RAY HIGH RESOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE PHOTOSYNTHETIC REACTION CENTER FROM RB. SPHAEROIDES AT PH 10 IN THE CHARGE-SEPARATED STATE

OverviewOverview

The structure of the photosynthetic reaction-center from Rhodobacter, sphaeroides has been determined at four different pH values (6.5, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0) in the neutral and in charge separated states. At pH 8.0, in, the neutral state, we obtain a resolution of 1.87 A, which is the best, ever reported for the bacterial reaction center protein. Our, crystallographic data confirm the existence of two different binding, positions of the secondary quinone (Q(B)). We observe a new orientation of, Q(B) in its distal position, which shows no ring-flip compared to the, orientation in the proximal position. Datasets collected for the different, pH values show a pH-dependence of the population of the proximal position., The new orientation of Q(B) in the distal position and the pH-dependence, could be ...
