Photo-oxidation of desaspidin sensitized by chlorophyll.
نویسنده
چکیده
The uncoupler desaspidin is labile in the presence of oxidants at alkaline pH values. It also undergoes chlorophyll-sensitized photooxidation at a more acid pH. The products of the oxidation appear to have negligible activity in inhibiting electron transfer and photophosphorylation.Failure of desaspidin to uncouple in the presence of oxidants used as cofactors of noncyclic electron flow is presumably the result of this irreversible degradation of the desaspidin molecule during the early minutes of illumination or preincubation.

An azo dye used as photosensitizers in Dye-sensitized solar cells DSSCs. Azo dyes economically superior to organometallic dyes because they are color variation and cheap. The spectrophotometric evaluation of an azo dye in solution and on a TiO2 substrate show that the dye form J-aggregation on the nanostructured TiO2 substrate. Oxidation potential measurements for used azo dyes ensured an energ...
متن کاملDifferential effects of desaspidin on photosynthetic phosphorylation.
Sensitivity to low concentrations of desaspidin (5 x 10(-7)m) sharply distinguishes the photophosphorylations associated with the photooxidation of water from all other types of photophosphorylation by isolated chloroplasts. Contrary to recent reports in the literature, the effects of desapidin were not altered by changes in the redox conditions as influenced by the concentration of ascorbate a...
