Abstract
Bacterial photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) are membrane protein complexes that catalyze light induced electron transfer. The RC contains the L, M, and H subunits which are common to all RCs from purple bacteria. In many species as in Rps. viridis, there is a fourth subunit, the cytochrome c subunit which re-reduces the photooxidized bacteriochlorophyll b dimer (P+).
