Leu. The spectra were obtained with a variety of excitation wavelengths, spanning the UV, violet, and yellow-green regions of the absorption spectrum, and at temperatures of 30 and 200 K. The RR data indicate that thestructures of the bacteriochlorin pigments in RCs from Rb. capsulatus wild type are similar to those in RCs from Rhodobacter sphaeroides wild type. The data also show that the amino acid modifications near the primary electron acceptor (GluL104-* Leu) and special pair (HisM20-* Leu) perturb only those bacteriochlorin pigments near the site of the mutation and do not influence the structures of the other pigments in the RC. In the case of the GluL104-*· Leu mutant, elimination of the hydrogen bond to the C9 keto group of BPhL results in frequency shifts of RR bands of certain skeletal modes of the macrocycle. This allows the assignment of bands to the individual BPhL and BPhM pigments. In the case of the HisM200—*Leu mutant, in which thespecial pair is comprised of a bacteriochlorophyll (BChl)-bacteriopheophytin (BPh) heterodimer rather than the BChl2 unit bound in the wild type, certain skeletal vibrations due to the additional BPh unit are identified. The frequencies of these modes are similar to those of the analogous vibrations of BPhL and BPhM, which indicates that the structure of theBPh in the heterodimer is not unusual in any discernible way. For Rb. capsulatus wild type and the HisM200-* Leu mutant, the frequencies of the structure-sensitive skeletal modes of one of the two BPhs shift with temperature as has been previously observed for the analogous RR bands of RCs from Rb. sphaeroides [Peloquin, J. M., Violette, C. A., Frank, HA, & Bocian, D. F.(1990) Biochemistry 29, 4892-4898]. The RR data obtained for the GluL104—* Leu mutant confirm that this pigment is BPhL. In addition, no temperature dependence is observed for the RR bands of the skeletal modes of the BPhL in RCs from the GluL104-»
