Title Cryogenic structure of the photosynthetic reaction center of blastochloris viridis in the light and dark.

Abstract
The structure of the Blastochloris viridis photosynthetic reaction center has been determined at 100 K by flash-freezing crystals. A data set to 2.2 A resolution provides a well determined model of the wild-type protein. Of particular interest are the position, occupancy and heterogeneity of the Q(B)-binding site. Data were also collected from a crystal frozen immediately after illumination. The data support predominant binding of Q(B) in the proximal position in both the neutral and charge-separated states.
Figure 1.
Figure 1 Simulated-annealing F[o] - F[c] (a) and refined 2F[o] - F[c] (b) electron density for Q[B] in its active site. Maps contoured at 1.5 [sigma] and 1.0 [sigma] , respectively. The alternate model for the quinone is shown in yellow. Figs. 1 and 2 were produced using PyMOL (DeLano, 2002 [DeLano, W. L. (2002).
