Abstract
In a bacterial photosynthesis, light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2) and the light-harvesting-reaction center complex (LH1-RC) play the key roles of capturing and transferring light energy and subsequent charge separation. Here, we present a novel strategy to assemble both LH2 and LH1-RC into a solid-supported lipid bilayer. Spectroscopic and microscopic analyses revealed that both LH2 and LH1-RC were incorporated into the solid-supported lipid bilayer without denaturation. Through a stepwise-assembling procedure, LH2 and LH1-RC were separately organized in the lipid-domain-structured area.
