The Soret absorption properties of carotenoids and chlorophylls in antenna complexes of higher plants.

abstract：:Unique light-harvesting antennas in the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum tepidum, called chlorosomes, consist of self-aggregates of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c. In the biosynthesis of BChl c, BciC demethoxycarbonylase removes the C132-methoxycarbonyl group to facilitate the self-aggregation of BChl c. We previous...
