Fv fragment-mediated crystallization of the membrane protein bacterial cytochrome c oxidase.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the crystallization of the cytochrome c oxidase from Paracoccus denitrificans can be mediated by co-crystallization with an antibody Fv fragment, which should be useful in obtaining well-ordered crystals of membrane proteins in general.

Interruption of the Water Chain in the Reaction Center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides Reduces the Rates of the Proton Uptake and of the Second Electron Transfer to QB
Laura Baciou,Hartmut Michel +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the mutations have specifically altered the pathway of proton transfer to QB, and a concomitant decrease of the rates of the second electron transfer, kAB(2), and of the proton uptake upon the second flash.

Engineered Fv Fragments as a Tool for the One-Step Purification of Integral Multisubunit Membrane Protein Complexes
TL;DR: An indirect immunoaffinity chromatography method based on engineered Fv fragments, which could be reused under continuous operation for several months and obtained five to 10 mg of membrane protein complexes within five hours.

Electron Transfer from the Tetraheme Cytochrome to the Special Pair in the Rhodopseudomonas viridis Reaction Center: Effect of Mutations of Tyrosine L162
Barbara Dohse,Paul Mathis,Joseph Wachtveitl,Eva Laussermair,So Iwata,Hartmut Michel,Dieter Oesterhelt +6 more
TL;DR: The structure of the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) from Rhodopseudomonas viridis is known to high resolution as discussed by the authors, which contains a tetraheme cytochrome from which electrons are donated to a special pair (P) of bacteriochlorophylls, which is photooxidized upon absorption of light.

Spectroscopic properties of the light-harvesting complexes from Rhodospirillum molischianum
TL;DR: Spectroscopic properties, including low-temperature absorbance, linear and circular dichroism and site-selection fluorescence of the antenna complexes from Rhodospirillum molischianum have been determined and imply that the organisation of the core in this bacterium is not much different from that in other purple non-sulphur bacteria.
