Engineering of an alternative electron transfer path in photosystem II.
The initial steps of oxygenic photosynthetic electron transfer occur within photosystem II, an intricate pigment/protein transmembrane complex. Light-driven electron transfer occurs within a multistep pathway that is efficiently insulated from competing electron transfer pathways. The heart of the electron transfer system, composed of six linearly coupled redox active cofactors that enable elec...
متن کاملPhotosystem II cycle and alternative electron flow in leaves.
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were grown in the laboratory and leaves were taken from field-grown birch trees (Betula pendula Roth). Chlorophyll fluorescence, CO2 uptake and O2 evolution were measured and electron transport rates were calculated, J(C) from the CO2 uptake rate considering ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylation and oxygenation, J(O) f...
متن کاملElectron transfer in photosystem I.
This mini-review focuses on recent experimental results and questions, which came up since the last more comprehensive reviews on the subject. We include a brief discussion of the different techniques used for time-resolved studies of electron transfer in photosystem I (PS I) and relate the kinetic results to new structural data of the PS I reaction centre.
متن کاملPhotosystem II electron transfer: the manganese complex to P680.
bridges in transition metal clusters are unreactive as a class, they would require special activation if they were to be involved in oxidations or 0-0 bond formation. We propose that the unusual electronic configuration of the Mn, cluster of the WOC is an expression of this activation. Formation of the activated (dn)3(dx2-,2)' electron configuration may also be explained if the Mn"' ions have o...
متن کاملCopper(II) inhibition of electron transfer through photosystem II studied by EPR spectroscopy.
EPR spectroscopy was applied to investigate the inhibition of electron transport in photosystem II by Cu2+ ions. Our results show that Cu2+ has inhibitory effects on both the donor and the acceptor side of photosystem II. In the presence of Cu2+, neither EPR signal IIvery fast nor signal IIfast, which both reflect oxidation of tyrosinez, could be induced by illumination. This shows that Cu2+ in...
