11. Small angle X-ray scattering and dynamic light scattering measurements indicated that the diameter of the subunit-or LH1-type complex with Zn-BChl a was 3.7 nm or 28.0 nm, respectively.
12. Fluorescence spectra of ZnMPMME in the presence of the LH-α and -β polypeptides in OG micelle were measured when excited at the wavelength of the Soret band. The fluorescence lifetime was measured by YAG laser (532nm) flash photolysis of pico sec. The life time for ZnMPMME in the presence of the LH-polypeptides was 2 ns, corresponding to that in chloroform but a fast decay curve was partially observed in comparison to that in chloroform.
