摘要
Steady-state absorption spectroscopy,circular dichroism,and resonance Raman spectroscopy have been used to investigate the thermal stability of LH2 complex isolated from purple photosynthetic bacterium Rps.palustris.The results show that:1)upon increasing the temperature,a transition from B800 and B850 to free bacteriochlorophyll(B780)happens;2)a gradual decrease and disappearance of CD signal in visible region occur;3)a shift of the frequency,belonging to C==C and C—C stretching vibration,to higher wavenumber takes place.It is suggested that LH2 complex can be dissociated in the presence of B800,B850 and carotenoids simultaneously.Single-exponential fitting on the dynamic decay curves gives the apparent time constants of hundreds of minutes for various pigments.
Steady-state absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and resonance Raman spectroscopy have been used to investigate the thermal stability of LH2 complex isolated from purple photosynthetic bacterium Rps. palustris. The results show that： 1） upon increasing the temperature, a transition from B800 and B850 to free bacteriochlorophyll （B780） happens; 2） a gradual decrease and disappearance of CD signal in visible region occur; 3） a shift of the frequency, belonging to C=C and C-C stretching vibration, to higher wavenumber takes place. It is suggested that LH2 complex can be dissociated in the presence of B800, B850 and carotenoids simultaneously. Single-exponential fitting on the dynamic decay curves gives the apparent time constants of hundreds of minutes for various pigments.
