Abstract
The chemical structure of the novel Zn-containing bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) found in A. rubrum [1] has been confirmed to be Zn-BChl a [2,3]. This incites us to compare the physicochemical properties of ZnBChl a with those of BChl a (Mg-BChl a) as well as metallobacteriochlorophylls (M-BChls) a and metallochlorophylls (M-Chls) a. Here we discuss the reason for the use of Zn as the central metal in A. rubrum, referring to such physicochemical behaviors of M-BChls a and M-Chls a as the absorption, fluorescence and redox potentials.
