Protein shape and crowding drive domain formation and curvature in biological membranes (2008)

Frese, R.N., Pàmies, J.C., Olsen, J.D., Bahatyrova, S., Aartsma, T.J., ...

Folding, curvature, and domain formation are characteristics of many biological membranes. Yet the mechanisms that drive both curvature and the formation of specialized domains enriched in particular...

Growing-in of optical coherence in the FMO antenna complexes (2002)

Prokhorenko, V. I., Holzwarth, A. R., Nowak, F. R., Aartsma, T. J.

We report on the novel effect of the growing-in of optical coherence in the FMO antenna complexes. The rise of coherence, monitored by femtosecond two-pulse photon echo spectroscopy at 1.27 K, occurs...

Matsushita, M, Ketelaars, M, Van Oijen, A M, Köhler, J, Aartsma, T J, Schmidt, J

Spectroscopy of individual light-harvesting 2 complexes from purple photosynthetic bacteria revealed a deformation of the circular complex into C(2) symmetry. The present work relates the geometry of...

Observation of the Energy-Level Structure of the Low-Light Adapted B800 LH4 Complex by Single-Molecule Spectroscopy

Oellerich, S., Lawless, A. M., Papiz, M., Aartsma, T. J.

Low-light adapted B800 light-harvesting complex 4 (LH4) from Rhodopseudomonas palustris is a complex in which the arrangement of the bacteriochloropyll a pigments is very different from the...
