Abstract

Bacterial photosynthesis relies on the interplay between light harvesting and electron transfer complexes, all of which are located within the intracytoplasmic membrane. These complexes capture and transfer solar energy, which is used to generate a proton gradient. In this study, we identify one of the factors that determines the organization of these complexes. We undertook a comparison of the organization of the light- harvesting complex 1 (LH1)/reaction center (RC) cores in the LH2
