Abstract
- The influence exerted on an integral membrane protein by its environment using the light-harvesting complex (LHI) of purple bacteria as a model, is studied. It is concluded that membrane environment significantly narrows the statistical distribution of conformational states available to the LH1 complex in comparison to the corresponding state distribution observed for the same detergent-solubilized protein.
