Abstract
⺠P+QAâ/PQA IR spectra of reaction centers were analyzed in the 4000-1200 cmâ 1 region. ⺠The effect of dehydration has been studied by controlling the relative humidity. ⺠Dehydration decreases difference bands attributed to bound water molecules. ⺠Dehydration affects vibrational modes of P and NH or OH groups of the protein. ⺠Spectral changes correlate with the stability of the light-induced P+QAâ state.
