The question of the primary electron acceptor in bacterial photosynthesis.

An electrophoretic purification of Rhodospirillum rubrum photoreceptor subunits prepared by alkaline urea-detergent disruption is described. Completely active photoreceptor subunits with less than 0.30 eq of iron (or any other transition metal) per phototrap can routinely be prepared. A new photoproduced electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal has been detected in these preparations; it was shown to be due to a photoreduced species. It has a g-value of 2.0050 +/- 0.0003, a peak-peak width of 7.0 +/- 0.3 G, and a nearly Gaussian shape. The response of the new signal to microwave power is d
