Long-range electrostatic interaction in the bacterial photosynthetic reaction centre

Nature Structural Biology volume 2, pages 1057–1059 (1995)Cite this article

Measurement of proton uptake in the bacterial photosynthetic reaction centre indicates that the formation of Q A − has an electrostatic influence on the protonation of residue Glu-L212 some 17 Å distant from Q A − .
