7. The near-IR absorbance measurements were collected on a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 6 UV-vis spectrophotometer with a Plexiglas flat cell immersed in liquid nitrogen. The samples (∼2 mg Chl/mL in 40% v/v glycerol) were frozen to form an uncracked glass at 77 K.

20. + is in fact also diminished in this region and only appears to be appreciable because the near-IR band rides on a baseline that slopes positively toward low energy.
21. -1, changes little over this relatively small tuning range far off resonance. Thus, the intensities of the Raman bands of the neutral Chl cofactors serve to a very good approximation as internal intensity standards.
