Low-temperature persistent and transient hole-burning (HB) spectra are presented for the triple hydrogen-bonded L131LH+M160LH+M197FH mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. These spectra expose the heterogeneous nature of the P-, B-, and H-bands, consistent with a distribution of electron transfer (ET) times and excitation energy transfer (EET) rates. Transient P+QA- holes are observed for fast (tens of ps or faster) ET times and reveal strong coupling to phonons and marker mode(s), while the persistent holes are bleached in a fraction of reaction centers (RCs) with long-lived excited states characterized by much weaker electron-phonon coupling. Exposed differences in electron-phonon coupling strength, as well as a different coupling to the marker mode(s) appear to affect the ET times. Both resonantly and nonresonantly burned persistent HB spectra show weak blue- (~150 cm-1) and large, red-shifted (~300 cm-1) anti-holes of the P band. Slower EET times from the H- and B-bands to the special pair dimer provide new insight on the influence of hydrogen bonds on mutation-induced heterogeneity.
