Chlorophyll arrangement in a bacteriochlorophyll protein from Chlorobium limicola

The three-dimensional structure of a chlorophyll-containing protein has been determined by X-ray crystallography and shown to consist of three identical subunits, each containing a core of seven bacteriochlorophylls arranged in an irregular fashion and enclosed within an envelope of protein.
