Type: | Family | Name: | Photosystem P840 reaction-centre, cytochrome c-551 |
Description: | A photosynthetic reaction-centre complex is found in certain green sulphur bacteria such as Chlorobium vibrioforme, which are anaerobic photo-auto-trophic organisms. The primary electron donor is P840, a probable B-Chl a dimer, and the primary electron acceptor is a B-Chl monomer. On the donor side, c-type cytochromes are known to function as electron donors to photo-oxidised P840 [].This entry represents a cytochrome c551 component of the PRC. It is a membrane-bound cytochrome containing a single haem group. | Short Name: | Cytochrome-c551 |
