M. Huber et al., INVESTIGATION OF THE ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE OF THE PRIMARY ELECTRON-DONOR IN BACTERIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS - MEASUREMENTS OF THE ANISOTROPY OF THEELECTRONIC G-TENSOR USING HIGH-FIELD HIGH-FREQUENCY EPR, Solar energy materials and solar cells, 38(1-4), 1995, pp. 119-126
Cation radicals of the primary electron donor (D+) in bacterial photos
ynthesis were investigated by high field, high frequency (95 GHz) EPR.
Measurements on frozen solutions of D+, a dimeric pi-cation radical,
of various organisms (Rps. viridis, Rb. sphaeroides, Chloroflexus aura
ntiacus and a heterodimer mutant) are reported, revealing differences
in the principal values of the G-tensor. Elements of a theory relating
the magnitudes of G principal values to the electronic structure are
discussed.
