  1. Ribbon representation of the Prosthecochloris aestuarii bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl­a) protein structure (PDB code 3BCL). The phytyl chains of BChl­a are not shown.
  2. The axial ligation of BChl­a molecules. Colour­codes: BChl 1 = dark grey; BChl 2 = orange; BChl 3 = dark cyan; BChl 4 = dark green; BChl 5 = deep red; BChl 6 = deep blue; BChl 7 = deep purple. The phytyl chains of BChl­a are not shown.
All drawings were produced by using the program MOLSCRIPT [2].
