Abstract

An orthorhombic crystal form (P2(1)2(1)2(1)) of the reaction center from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides R-26 has been characterized. The crystals were grown from polyethylene glycol; the unit cell dimensions are a = 142.2 A, b = 139.6 A, and c = 78.7 A; and they contain one reaction center in each crystallographic asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract to at least 3.0 A resolution, and are suitable for detailed structural studies.
