In order to solve discrepancies between earlier assignments we have reinvestigated the stereoisomerism of the spheroidene molecule bound to reaction centers (RC) ofRhodobacter sphaeroides. A stablecisisomer could be extracted and purified from the reaction centres by working at very low ambient light. Resonance Raman spectroscopy showed that thiscisisomer assumed the same configuration as that of the RC-bound molecule. Proton-NMR spectroscopy of the extracted isomer permitted to assign it the 15–15′ monocisconfiguration. Comparisons between resonance Raman spectra of the native form and of the 15cisextract showed that, in the reaction center, 15cisspheroidene is in addition twisted into a non-planar conformation. Comparisons of extraction-induced changes in relative intensities of Raman bands of the 760–1060 cm−1regions, which largely correspond to out-of-plane modes, further indicated that the out-of-plane twist of RC-bound spheroidene should predominantly affect C8–C12and/or C8′–C12′regions of the molecule rather than the central region. Comparisons between difference electronic absorption spectra of RC-bound spheroidene and of RC-bound methoxyneurosporene showed that the out-of-plane twisting of both these native forms results in a drastic weakening of their1C ←1A electronic transitions, compared with those of the planar, 15cisforms. Finally, it is proposed, on the basis of their resonance Raman spectra, that spirilloxanthin bound to RCs ofRhodospirillum rubrumas well as dihydroneurosporene or dihydrolycopene bound to RCs ofRhodopseudomonas viridisshares 15cisconfigurations and out-of-plane twisting with carotenoids bound to RCs of various strains ofRb. sphaeroides.
