The distr ibution of carotenoids f rom light harvester complex I I is reported. CP-47 lacks 9,9'-rá-carotene, but contains 9,13'-c/s-carotene; PS I lacks 9,\2>'-cis but contains 9,9 '-eis. More 9-eis, 9,13-cw, 9,15-c/s, and epoxide is observed in CP-47 than in PS I.

متن کاملPigment and Acyl Lipid Composition of Photosystem I and Ii Vesicles and of Photosynthetic Mutants in Barley
The pigment and acyl lipid composition ofphotochemically active stroma lamellae and inside-out photosystem II vesicles have been investigated. Mechanical disruption followed by phase partitioning in an aqueous two phase system resulted in a clean separation of the photosystems. A qualitative and quantitative determination of the pigment content was achieved using reversed-phase high performance...
متن کاملPurification and spectroscopic characterization of photosystem II reaction center complexes isolated with or without Triton X-100.
The pigment composition of the isolated photosystem II reaction center complex in its most stable and pure form currently is a matter of considerable debate. In this contribution, we present a new method based on a combination of gel filtration chromatography and diode array detection to analyze the composition of photosystem II reaction center preparations. We show that the method is very sens...
