Abstract：
:Reaction center (RC) complexes isolated from a Zn-bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a-containing purple bacterium, Acidiphilium rubrum, were characterized by absorption, circular dichroism, and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. The oxidized-minus-reduced difference spectra indicated that, in this RC, the Zn-BChl a is the primary electron donor. The molecular structure of the donor was examined by measuring the ratio of the MCD intensity of the Faraday B-term (B) to the dipole strength (D). In the Q(y) region, B/D for the donor was about half those of bacteriopheophytin a and the accessory Zn-BChl a, indicating that the primary electron donor is a dimer. The magnitude of bleach of the Q(x) band was half that observed in Rhodobacter sphaeroides, suggesting the cation is localized on a single Zn-Bchl a. The absorption intensity of the higher-energy Q(y) exciton band was approximately 28% of that of the lower-energy band, and the exciton splitting was approximately 570 cm(-1), smaller than that in Rb. sphaeroides. These results indicate that, in A. rubrum, the primary electron donor is a Zn-BChl a dimer but that the interaction between the two molecules is rather weak. On the basis of these results, an adaptive strategy for changes in BChl a species is discussed from an evolutionary perspective.
