Polarization dependent fluorescence-excitation spectra of single low-light (LL) harvesting 2 complexes from Rps. palustris strain 2.1.6 have been recorded at low temperature (1.4 K). The recorded spectra feature three main absorption bands around 800 nm, 820 nm, and 850 nm, respectively. On the basis of a structural model that assumes 9 αβ BChl dimers and a mixed apoprotein composition the spectra have been simulated. The best agreement between experiment and simulation is achieved for a model that considers 6 α-bound B820-like BChls and 12 B850-like BChls that are arranged in C3 symmetry.
