New and unexpected routes for ultrafast electron transfer in photosynthetic reaction centers.
In photosynthetic reaction centers, the excitation with light leads to the formation of a charge separated state across the photosynthetic membrane. For the reaction center of purple non-sulphur bacteria, it was previously generally assumed that this primary charge separation could only start with the excitation of the so-called special pair of bacteriochlorophyll molecules located in the heart...
متن کاملElectric Field Modulation of the Fluorescence from Rhodobacter Sphaeroides Reaction Centers
The fluorescence intensity from randomly oriented Rhodobacter (Rb.) sphaeroides photosynthetic reaction centers at 77 K increases in an applied electric field. This is ascribed to a net reduction in the rate of the initial electron transfer reaction which competes with fluorescence due to the effect of the field on the free energy of charge separation. Quantitative analysis of the fluorescence ...
متن کاملArtificial Photosynthetic Reaction Center Exhibiting Acid-Responsive Regulation of Photoinduced Charge Separation.
Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) is a photoprotective regulatory mechanism employed by many photosynthetic organisms to dynamically modulate energy flow within the photosynthetic apparatus in response to fluctuating light conditions. Activated by decreases in lumen pH produced during periods of high photon flux, NPQ induces rapid thermal dissipation of excess excitation energy. As a result, the...

متن کاملEffects of Applied Electric Fields on the Quantum Yields of the Initial Electron-Transfer Steps in Bacterial Photosynthesis. 1. Quantum Yield Failure
The effect of an applied electric field has been measured for the quantum yield of formation of the P H , P+QA-, and 3P states of nonoriented Rb. sphaeroides reaction centers a t 80 K in poly(viny1 alcohol) (PVA) films and in glycerol-buffer glasses. Both the shape and magnitude of the field dependence are very similar for all three observables in both media where the data overlap. This result ...
