Photosynthetic reaction centre of Chloroflexus aurantiacus. I. Primary structure of L-subunit

FEBS Lett. 1988 Apr 11;231(1):237-42. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(88)80739-7.

Abstract

The L-subunit primary structure of the reaction centre from Chloroflexus aurantiacus composed of 310 amino acid residues has been determined by parallel analysis of the protein and corresponding DNA. Significant homology between this protein and L-subunits from reaction centres of purple bacteria is observed. This implies close similarity in the tertiary structure of these proteins.
