Preliminary studies of the electronic absorption spectra of chlorophyll molecules in aqueous glycolipid and phospholipid dispersions are reported. The spectra show a shift for the red peak of chlorophyll of some 10 millimicrons to longer wavelength compared with the spectrum of chlorophyll in ether. Photochemical studies were carried out with cytochrome c incorporated into the aqueous layers separating the lipid bilayers.
