Deskripsi

Here the authors report a cryo-EM structure of the light-harvesting-reaction center complex (LH1- RC) from the purple phototrophic bacterium Thiorhodovibrio strain 970, providing insights into the mechanisms that underlie the absorbance properties of both the LH1 and the RC of this spectrally unusual purple bacterium.
