Figure 6 from «Selective oxidation of B800 bacteriochlorophyll a in photosynthetic light-harvesting protein LH2” by Y. Saga et al.: FM-AFM images of native LH2 (A) and oxidized LH2 (B) adsorbed on mica taken in 20 mM Tris buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 8.0). Left: wide images. Middle: locally enlarged images of single LH2 proteins. Right: overlapped height-profiles of ten proteins. NANOSENSORS PPP-NCHAuD AFM probes were used.

Engineering chlorophyll (Chl) pigments that are bound to photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins is one promising strategy to regulate spectral coverage for photon capture and to improve… Read More »Selective oxidation of B800 bacteriochlorophyll a in photosynthetic light-harvesting protein LH2
