title: Pigment-protein complexes of purple photosynthetic bacteria: an overview.
abstract: A minireview of antenna and reaction center pigment-protein complexes of purple bacteria is presented. Advances in our knowledge of their structure and composition during the past 3 yr are emphasized and some new thoughts are introduced.
