Pigment-lipoprotein B890 complexes containing reaction center and "light-focusing" bacteriochlorophyll a were isolated from photosynthetic membranes of sulfur (Chromatium minutissimum) and non-sulfur (Rhodopseudomonas palustris) purple bacteria after the treatment with Triton X-100. The molecular weights of complexes were evaluated using several methods (200 000-300 000). By means of electron microscopy the sizes of complexes were found to be about 80 A. On the air-water interface hexagonal packing of complexes was observed. The chemical compositions of complexes are very similar except bacteriochlorophyll a whose specific content is somewhat higher in Chromatium minutissimum. The protein composition of complexes was studied and the molecular weights of proteins were estimated by SDS-gel electrophoresis. The results obtained show significant similarities in molecular organization of B890 complexes isolated from sulfur (Chromatium minutissimum) and non-sulfur (Rhodopseudomonas palustris) purple bacteria.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010860 Pigments, Biological Any normal or abnormal coloring matter in PLANTS; ANIMALS or micro-organisms. Biological Pigments
D002621 Chemistry A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D002844 Chromatium A genus of gram-negative, ovoid to rod-shaped bacteria that is phototrophic. All species use ammonia as a nitrogen source. Some strains are found only in sulfide-containing freshwater habitats exposed to light while others may occur in marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments.
D003574 Cytochrome c Group A group of cytochromes with covalent thioether linkages between either or both of the vinyl side chains of protoheme and the protein. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p539) Cytochromes Type c,Group, Cytochrome c,Type c, Cytochromes
