Abstract
Native and carotenoid-depleted peripheral purple bacterial light-harvesting complex (LH2) were investigated by simultaneous two-photon excited (between 1300-1500 nm) fluorescence (TPF). TPF results from direct bacteriochlorophyll excitation in both samples. The spectral position of the 2A(g)(-) state of rhodopin [corrected] is indicated by a diminuition of the bacteriochlorophyll TPF in native LH2. In conclusion, comparison to carotenoid-depleted samples is a conditio sine qua non for unambiguous interpretation of similar experiments.Entities:
