Title: Two-dimensional 67 Zn HYSCORE spectroscopy reveals that a Zn-bacteriochlorophyll a P ′ dimer is the primary donor (P 840 ) in the type-1 reaction centers of Chloracidobacterium thermophilum

Abstract

Using pulsed EPR spectroscopy and isotopic labeling we demonstrate that reaction centers of Chloracidobacterium thermophilum have an unusual primary donor that is a dimer of Zn-bacteriochlorophyll a P ′ molecules.
