Two different crystal forms of the B800-850-antenna complex from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila strain 10050 have been grown. This complex is an integral membrane protein and is isolated as an oligomeric assembly with a molecular weight of approximately 84 kDa. This assembly contains six alpha/beta apoprotein pairs, 18 molecules of bacteriochlorophyll a and nine molecules of carotenoid. The first crystal form has dimensions unit cell a = b = 75.8 A, c = 97.5 A with the space group P4 and diffracts to a resolution of 12.0 A. The second crystal form is rhombohedral with dimensions unit cell a = 121.1 A, alpha = 60 degrees, space group R32 and diffracts to a resolution of 3.5 A. Native data have been processes in both cases, to an Rmerge value of 9.0 to 11.0%. The X-ray data suggest that the asymmetric unit, in both crystal forms, contains one 84 kDa antenna complex.
