Abstract：
:The light-harvesting complex (LHC) of higher plants isolated using Triton X-100 has been studied during its transformation into a monomeric form known as CPII. The change was accomplished by gradually increasing the concentration of the detergent, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Changes in the red spectral region of the absorption, circular dichroism (CD), and linear dichroism spectra occurring during this treatment have been observed at room temperature. According to a current hypothesis the main features of the visible region absorption and CD spectra of CPII can be explained reasonably successfully in terms of an exciton coupling among its chlorophyll (Chl) b molecules. We suggest that the spectral differences between the isolated LHC and the CPII may be understood basically in terms of an exciton coupling between the Chl b core of a given CPII unit and at least one of the Chla's of either the same or the adjacent CPII. We propose that this Chl a-Chl b coupling existing in LHC disappears upon segregation into CPII, probably as a result of a detergent-related overall rotation of the strongly coupled Chl b core which changes the relative orientations of the two types of pigments and thus the nature of their coupling.
