description | Bacteriochlorophyll A (or FMO) protein is involved in the energy transfer system of photosynthetic bacteria, such as Green Sulphur Bacteria. Bacteriochlorophyll A acts as a light-harvesting complex that directs light energy from the chlorosomes attached to the cell membrane to the reaction centre []. The protein forms a homotrimer, with each monomer unit containing seven molecules of bacteriochlorophyll A. |
