Photosynthetic Reaction Center

Click here: Reaction center

This is the photosynthetic reaction center of Rb. sphaeroides, one of the proteins, that I did research on in the past, in particular with accumulated photon echo techniques. Click on the picture to see a chime presentation of the Reaction center of Rps. viridis, which is distinguished from Rb. sphaeroides by a tightly attached Cytochrome unit and whose absorption is red-shifted in comparison. Note, that you need the Chime Plug-in to do this. It is easy to install and truly worth doing !
