| Structure of the reaction centre of Rhodopseudomonas viridis. On the left is the whole protein, with individual chains represented as individually-coloured ribbons and the heterogeneous atoms of the cofactors as red sticks. On the right, the cofactors alone are shown as ball-and stick models with cpk colours. Click on the graphic to see a depiction of the primary events of light energy conversion. |
