Abstract:
Chemically identical tetrapyrrole cofactors such as hemes and
chlorophylls participate in functionally diverse biological roles.
An analysis of the available protein structural data for the
bacteriochlorophylls in the photosynthetic reaction center gives
statistically reliable evidence of the hypothesis that the protein
induced cofactor conformation is a modulator of the biomolecular
function of each reaction center. The results serve as a
general model to illustrate conformational control of tetrapyrrole
cofactors in other proteins.
