With current knowledge about the primary events of                              photosynthesis and the availability of methods for isolating                    and characterizing the pigment-protein complexes of the                         photosynthetic membrane, it is an ideal time to conduct                         experiments designed to delineate how structural features are                   related to function.                                                                                                                                            Dr. Loach's major emphasis will be to examine the core light-                   harvesting (LH) complex of photosynthetic bacteria.  Recently                   he has been able to isolate a subunit form of this complex and                  has developed methods that allow the reconstitution of either                   the subunit form or LH-I from bacteriochlorophyll and the                       protein.  This is a very powerful tool.  It is planned to use                   these methods to systematically vary the structure of the                       pigment molecule and the two polypeptides in order to probe the                 interaction between the prosthetic groups and protein.
