J. Lugtenburg et H. Degroot, CHARACTERIZATION OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC REACTION CENTERS WITH SPECIFIC ISOTOPE LABELS, Photosynthesis research, 55(2-3), 1998, pp. 241-245
In this minireview the information at the atomic level that has been o
btained by studying photosynthetic reaction centers with site-directed
isotope labelling is discussed. The required isotopically labelled RC
s are prepared using isotopically labelled amino acids and cofactors t
hat have been prepared via organic total synthetic chemistry. In some
cases the results of isotopically labelled RCs that are prepared via o
ther methods are also discussed.
