Olivia's LH1-RC paper now available in JACS

Olivia’s paper on the effects of lipid environment on energy transfer in the LH1-RC complex of purple bacteria was published today in JACS. Through a combination of intensive biochemistry and complementary simulations, Olivia and colleagues demonstrated that anionic lipids, especially cardiolipin, are crucial for effective redox cycling in the reaction center, allowing cells to make better use of harvested light.
