STRUCTURE OF THE MEMBRANE-BOUND PROTEIN PHOTOSYNTHETIC REACTION CENTER FROM RHODOBACTER SPHAEROIDESSTRUCTURE OF THE MEMBRANE-BOUND PROTEIN PHOTOSYNTHETIC REACTION CENTER FROM RHODOBACTER SPHAEROIDES
Structural highlights
Function[RCEL_RHOSH] The reaction center is a membrane-bound complex that mediates the initial photochemical event in the electron transfer process of photosynthesis. [RCEH_RHOSH] The reaction center is a membrane-bound complex that mediates the initial photochemical event in the electron transfer process of photosynthesis. [RCEM_RHOSH] The reaction center is a membrane-bound complex that mediates the initial photochemical event in the electron transfer process of photosynthesis.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe 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.
