In photosynthetic green sulfur bacteria, the electron transfer reaction from menaquinol:cytochrome oxidoreductase to the P840 reaction center (RC) complex occurs directly without any involvement of soluble electron carrier protein(s). X-ray crystallography has determined the three-dimensional structures of the soluble domains of the gene product and Rieske iron-sulfur protein (ISP). The former is a mono-heme cytochrome with an α-absorption peak at 556 nm.
