“…The primary components of chromatophore vesicles in purple bacteria, as depicted in Figure 1, are, in order of energy utililization (Cogdell et al, 2006,Cartron et al, 2014: (i) light harvesting complex 2 (LH2) (Koepke et al, 1996;Papiz et al, 2003); (ii) light harvesting complex 1 (LH1 Sener et al, 2009]); (iii) RC (Jamieson et al, 2002;Strümpfer and Schulten, 2012a); (iv) cytbc 1 (Crofts, 2004;Crofts et al, 2006); and (v) ATP synthase (Feniouk and Junge, 2009;Hakobyan et al, 2012). RC-LH1 complexes typically form dimeric RC-LH1-PufX complexes facilitated by the polypeptide PufX Sener et al, 2009), although monomeric complexes are also found in membranes from photosynthetically grown cells at a ratio of approximately 10% .…”
