The three-dimensional structure of the cofactors of the reaction center of Rhodobacter sphaeroides R-26 has been determined by x-ray diffraction and refined at a resolution of 2.8 A with an R value of 26%. The main features of the structure are similar to the ones determined for Rhodopseudomonas viridis [Michel, H., Epp, O. & Deisenhofer, J. (1986) EMBO J. 5, 2445-2451]. The cofactors are arranged along two branches, which are approximately related to each other by a 2-fold symmetry axis. The structure is well suited to produce light-induced charge separation across the membrane. Most of the structural features predicted from physical and biochemical measurements are confirmed by the x-ray structure.
球形红细菌R-26反应中心辅因子的三维结构已通过X射线衍射确定,并在2.8埃分辨率下进行了精修,R值为26%。该结构的主要特征与绿假单胞菌的结构相似[米歇尔,H.,埃普,O. & 戴森霍费尔,J.(1986年)《欧洲分子生物学组织杂志》5,2445 - 2451]。辅因子沿两个分支排列,这两个分支通过一个二重对称轴大致相互关联。该结构非常适合在膜上产生光诱导电荷分离。从物理和生化测量预测的大多数结构特征都得到了X射线结构的证实。
