Mixed monomolecular films of chlorophyll and cytochromes.

چکیده
Mixed monomolecular films of cytochrome (Cyt) and chlorophyll (Chl) were spread at a nitrogen-water interface. A large interaction is observed between reduced Cyt f and Chl a in a mixed film. Oxidized Cyt f and Chl a in a mixed film show little evidence for interaction. Mixed monomolecular films of Chl a with either reduced or oxidized Cyt c appears to result in denaturation of the protein at the surface. A light reaction is observed only in mixed films of reduced Cy f and Chl a.

Surface Properties of Monomolecular Films of Reduced Plastocyanin at a Nitrogen-Water Interface
The area/molecule (A) and surface potential {AV) of reduced plastocyanin (pcyan) was measured as a function of pH. At pH 7.5 a maximum is observed for A while a minimum is ob served for A V . At a surface pressure of 5 dyn/cm the maximum ^ 5 = 378 Ä2 and minimum A V 5 = 335 mV. There is an interaction between pcyan and chlorophyll (Chi) in mixed films. As shown by a decrease of A and V compare...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic electron carriers at a heptane-water interface.
Surface properties of monomolecular films of chlorophyll (Chl), plastocyanin (Pc), cytochrome c (Cyt) and ferridoxin (Fd) were measured at a heptane-water interface. Mixed films of Chl and the other components were examined in darkness and in light. The area/molecule, A, for Fd (from Cl. pasteurianum) is much larger at a heptane-water than Fd (from spinach) at an air-water interface. This diffe...
متن کاملInteractions between ferredoxin and chlorophyll in a monolayer system.
Ferredoxin (Fd) is surface active; both its area/molecule, A, and surface potential, AV, (at an air-water interface) vary with the pH of the subphase. From the surface isotherms (at pH 7.7) A and AV are 167 Ä2 and 170 + 20mV, respectively, when the surface tension is 10 dyne/cm. Fd and chlorophyll a (Chi) appear to form a mixed monomolecular film. At pH 7.7 a maximum interaction between Fd and ...
متن کاملHydrolysis of mixed monomolecular films of triglyceride/lecithin by pancreatic lipase.
The main purpose of this study was to describe the influence of lecithin upon lipolysis of mixed monomolecular films of trioctanoylglycerol/didodecanoylphosphatidycholine by pancreatic lipase in order to mimic some physiological situations. The quantity of enzyme adsorbed to the interface was simultaneously determined using 5-thio-2-nitro[14C]benzoyl lipase. Lipolytic activity was enhanced 3- t...
متن کاملInteractions between retinal and phospholipids in monomolecular films at acid pH.
The surface properties of mixed monomolecular films of retinal and phospholipids (p. lipids) are measured as a function of mole fraction at a nitrogen-water interface. An acid pH of 6.0 is maintained in the aqueous phase. Before irradiation the surface potential deltaV for 9-cis retinal, 11-cis retinal, phosphatidyl serine (PS) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), at pi=12 dyn/cm, are 490 mV, 64...
