Popis: | The carotenoid triplet states in the light-harvesting complex B800–850from purple bacterium Rubrivivax gelatinosus were characterized by absorption-detected magnetic resonance in zero magnetic field (ADMR) spectroscopy. Detailed HPLC analysis of carotenoids from B800–850demonstrated the presence of several carotenoids bound to the complex: the major ones are hydroxyspheroidene and spheroidene (together 80%), followed by neurosporene and hydroxyneurosporene (7%), spheroidenone and hydroxyspheroidenone (7.5%) and two other minor carotenoids that could be 3,4-dihydrospheroidenone and 3,4-dihydrohydroxyspheroidenone (5.5%). Three triplet states originating from carotenoids present in the B800–850were observed. The identical T-S spectra recorded at selectively chosen 2|E| transitions of carotenoids indicated that all these triplet states can be attributed to three different populations of one carotenoid family, probably to spheroidene and to hydroxyspheroidene, with different out-of-plane distortions of their polyene chain due to a different protein environment. Triplet states of the neurosporene and the spheroidenone families are probably not observed because of the low signal amplitude. |
