Simultaneous Measurement of DpH and Electron Transport in Chloroplast Thylakoids by 9-Aminoacridine Fluorescence 1,2
Electron transport and the electrochemical proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane are two fundamental parameters of photosynthesis. A combination of the electron acceptor, ferricyanide and the DpH indicator, 9-aminoacridine, was used to measure simultaneously electron transport rates and DpH solely by changes in the fluorescence of 9-aminoacridine. This method yields values for the rate ...
متن کامل9-Aminoacridine Binding to Chloroplast Membranes in Dark. Reversal by Mg2+
9-Aminoacridine (9AA) binds to photosynthetic membranes of unillum inated chloroplasts in low-salt media. The binding was insensitive to the uncouplers of photophosphorylation. The ap parent binding constant was 140 j u m . The binding isotherm as a function of 9AA concentration was sigmoid, and approximately 3 mol 9AA/mol chlorophyll was bound at saturating concentrations of 9AA. Addition of ...
متن کاملQuenching of chloroplast fluorescence by photosynthetic phosphorylation and electron transfer.
Sumnmary.-Experiments are described with a purified RNA-dependent-RNApolymerase (replicase) induced in E. coli by the RNA bacteriophage Qj3. The data demonstrate that the enzyme can generate identical copies of added viral RNA. A serial dilution experiment established that the newly synthesized RNA is fully as competent as the original viral RNA to program the synthesis of viral particles and t...
متن کاملInhibition of chloroplast electron transport reactions by trifluralin and diallate.
The herbicides trifluralin (alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N, N-dipropyl-p-toluidine) and diallate (S-[2,3-dichloroallyl] diisopropylthiocarbamate) inhibit electron transport, ATP synthesis, and cytochrome f reduction by isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. Both compounds inhibit noncyclic electron transport from H(2)O to ferricyanide more than 90% in coupled chloropla...
متن کاملEffects of bulk pH and of monovalent and divalent cations on chlorophyll a fluorescence and electron transport in pea thylakoids.
Millimolar concentrations of monovalent cations enhance and divalent cations impede the redistribution (spill-over) of electronic excitation energy from Photosystem (PS) II to PS I in cation-depleted (sucrose-washed) thylakoids; this concept is based on chlorophyll a fluorescence and electron transport measurements over a narrow pH range around 7. We have tested the above concept in pea thylako...
