Abstract
A method is described for reversibly removing bacteriochlorophyll from the B800-site of the B850-850 antenna complex from Rhodobacter sphaer oides. This method uses the oligosaccharidic detergent Triton BG-10, t ogether with an incubation at pH 5.0, Reconstitution at the B800-site has been successfully achieved for a range of modified bacteriochlorop hylls.
