Others ligands are linked with each subunit of the trimeric structure like the bacterioruberin (<scene name='56/568017/22b/1'>22B</scene>). The bacterioruberin plays a structural role for the trimerization of aR2. | Others ligands are linked with each subunit of the trimeric structure like the bacterioruberin (<scene name='56/568017/22b/1'>22B</scene>).

Several saccharides and some lipids and glycolipids also interact with the trimeric structure like the 2,3-di-phytanyl-glycerol (<scene name='56/568017/New_scene_3/1'>L2P</scene>). The lipids and the glycolipids fill the intratrimer hydrophobic space and they are required to the complex activity. Others lipids surround the trimeric structure and are essential to preserve it.<ref>PMID:18082767</ref> | Several saccharides and some lipids and glycolipids also interact with the trimeric structure like the 2,3-di-phytanyl-glycerol (<scene name='56/568017/New_scene_3/1'>L2P</scene>).

Some glycolipids seem to bind to the trimeric structure. They are in the centre of the three monomers and the hydrophilic part seems to be composed of three hexoses connected in tandems. | Some glycolipids seem to bind to the trimeric structure.

These glycolipids are supposed to have a stabilizing effect on the trimeric structure because each head group interacts with the two neighbouring monomers. | These glycolipids are supposed to have a stabilizing effect on the trimeric structure because each head group interacts with the two neighbouring monomers. <ref name="multiple">PMID:18082767</ref> | ||
