Recently, a method which allows the selective release and removal of the 800 nm absorbing bacteriochlorophyll a (B800) molecules from the LH2 complex of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila strain 10050 has been described [Fraser, N.J. (1999) Ph.D, Thesis, University of Glasgow, UK], This procedure also allows the reconstitution of empty binding sites with the native pigment Bchla(p), esterified with phytol, We have investigated the bacteriochlorophylla-protein interactions in native, B800 deficient (or B850) and in B800-bacteriochlorophylla(p)-reconstituted LH2 complexes by resonance Raman spectroscopy. We present the first direct structural evidence which shows that the reconstituted pigments are correctly bound within their binding pockets. (C) 1999 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
