The photosynthetic light-harvesting–reaction center core complex (LH1-RC) is a natural excitonic and photovoltaic device embedded in a lipid membrane. In order to apply LH1-RCs as a biohybrid energy-producing material, some important issues must be addressed, including how to make LH1-RCs function as efficiently as possible. In addition, they should be characterized to evaluate how many active LH1-RCs efficiently work in artificial systems. We report here that an anionic phospholipid, phosphatidylglycerol (PG), stabilizes the charge-separated state (a photooxidized electron donor and reduced quinone pair, P+QB–) of LH1-RC (fromRhodopseudomonas palustris) and enhances its activity in photocurrent generation. Steady-state fluorometric analysis demonstrated that PG enhances the formation of the P+QB–state at lower irradiances. The photocurrent generation activity was analyzed via Michaelis–Menten kinetics, revealing that 38% of LH1-RCs reconstituted into the PG membrane generated photocurrent at a turnover frequency of 46 s–1. PG molecules, which interact with LH1-RC in vivo, play the role of an active effector component for LH1-RC to enhance its function in the biohybrid system.
