30. Part of the 2ω Stark effect should have the same origin as the unusual Stark effects, which are more evident in a higher order Stark spectrum. This is in fact predicted in the accompanying paper (part 2, following paper in this issue). The relative contributions from the usual Stark effect dur to dipole moment (second derivative line shape, band-broadening effect) and the unusual Stark effect (band-broadening effect due to lifetime change) are difficult to separate because their line shapes are similar (also see Part 2 Appendix).
31. The X-ray structure has not been determined, but the high level of sequence homology and similarity of RC structures from other species make it very likely that Chloroflexus aurantiacus RCs are structurally similar to Rb. sphaeroides and Rps. viridis RCs. See also ref 34 in part 2.
