Using 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-13C site-specifically labelled ubiquinone-10, reconstituted at the QA site of Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26 reaction centres, the infra-red bands dominated by the 1- and 4-C = O vibration of QA are assigned in the QA(-)-QA difference spectra. The mode dominated by the 4-C = O vibration is drastically downshifted in the reaction centres as compared with its absorption frequency in free ubiquinone-10. In contrast, the mode dominated by the 1-C = O vibration absorbs at similar frequencies in the free and the bound forms. The frequency shift of the 4-C = O vibration is due to a large decrease in bond order and indicates a strong interaction with the protein microenvironment in the ground state. In the charge-separated state the mode dominated by the semiquinone 4-C = O vibration is characteristic of strong hydrogen bonding to the microenvironment, whereas the mode dominated by the 1-C = O vibration indicates a weaker interaction. The asymmetric binding of the 1- and 4-C = O groups to the protein might contribute to the factors governing different redox reactions of ubiquinone-10 at the QA site as compared with its reactions at the QB site.
