摘要
The molar extinction coefficients of light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2) have been ambiguous in spite of its fame and wide utilization. Herein we determine the molar extinction coefficients of the LH2 proteins derived from the three purple photosynthetic bacteria Rhodoblastus acidophilus, Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Phaeospirillum molischianum at 298 K by direct extraction of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a from the lyophilized proteins, followed by estimation of BChl a amounts from their electronic absorption spectra. © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry.
