The Chlorophyll Story [PDF]

open access: possibleAJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1955
keeps things outdoors a beautiful green, is one of the most unravelled mysteries of the organic world. We are just scratching the surface of a partial understanding of its properties and the values it may hold when it is used properly. Chlorophyll is the catalyst that converts moisture, carbon dioxide, and the sun's energy-by some means-into the ...

Chlorophyll synthetase in chlorophyll-free chromoplasts

Plant Cell Reports, 1981
A considerable incorporation of [1-(14)C]isopentenyl diphosphate into chlorophyll in chromoplast preparations from daffodil flowers (Narcissus pseudonarcissus L.) was observed when exogenous chlorophyllide a was added. The enzyme chlorophyll synthetase showed properties of a peripheral membrane protein.

Organization of chlorophyll biosynthesis and insertion of chlorophyll into the chlorophyll-binding proteins in chloroplasts

Photosynthesis Research, 2015
Oxygenic photosynthesis requires chlorophyll (Chl) for the absorption of light energy, and charge separation in the reaction center of photosystem I and II, to feed electrons into the photosynthetic electron transfer chain. Chl is bound to different Chl-binding proteins assembled in the core complexes of the two photosystems and their peripheral light ...

The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a and the chlorophyll/dioxane and chlorophyll/benzoquinone interactions

Chemical Physics Letters, 1974
Abstract A molecular orbital calculation, using the “free-electron-network” method, is reported for the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a and the complexes chlorophyll/ p -dioxane and chlorophyll/ p -benzoquinone. For chlorophyll a , our results are in good agreement with experiment and are substantially the same as those obtained by Weiss ...

Biosynthesis of chlorophyll b and the chlorophyll cycle

Photosynthesis Research, 2002
Recent progress in the knowledge of chlorophyll b biosynthesis from chlorophyllide a and reduction of chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a is described. The minireview includes a description of the enzymes involved in these reactions and, where appropriate, of the genes encoding these enzymes.

The aggregation of chlorophyll a

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1964
Abstract 1. 1. Aggregation of chlorophyll a in various nonpolar solvents has been demonstrated, and from the IR spectra the probable site of the hooking together of the molecules has been deduced. 2. 2. If chlorophyll a exists in the cell in a completely nonpolar milieu (as the visible spectroscopic studies suggest), then CCl4 solutions of ...

Chlorophyll synthetase cannot synthesize chlorophyll a′

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1994
Chlorophyll synthetase catalyzes the last step of chlorophyll biosynthesis, namely prenylation (esterification) of chlorophyllide with phytyl diphosphate or geranylgeranyl diphosphate. During investigation of various chlorophyllide derivatives as potential substrates we observed lower esterification with increasing percentages of chlorophyllide a′ in ...

Chlorophylls and chlorophyll derivatives

1996
Chlorophyll derivatives form a significant and growing element in the range of natural pigments used as food colorants. An account is provided of the methods of production and of the products formed under industrial conditions. Consideration is given to the formation of chlorophyll under biological conditions, together with a comprehensive summary of ...

Energy transfer between Chlorophyll C and Chlorophyll A

Biophysical Chemistry, 1973
Abstract Spectral properties of solutions containing mixtures of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll c are investigated. The yield of excitation energy migration from chlorophyll c to chlorophyll a is obtained ranging from 23 to 48% dependent on the used dye concentrations. The back transfer from chlorophyll a to chlorophyll c is negligible.
