Structural factors which control the position of the Q(y) absorption band of bacteriochlorophyll a in purple bacterial antenna complexes.
This paper presents a concise review of the structural factors which control the energy of the Q(y) absorption band of bacteriochlorophyll a in purple bacterial antenna complexes. The energy of these Q(y) absorption bands is important for excitation energy transfer within the bacterial photosynthetic unit.
