ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Drought and photosystem II activity in two Mediterranean oaks [PDF]
La reponse du photosysteme Il (PS II) a la secheresse a ete analysee sur deux especes de chenes mediterraneens, Quercus ilex et Q pubescens par la technique de la fluorescence chlorophyllienne pulsee. L'efficacite photochimique maximale du PS II (F v /F m ) de Q ilex (sempervirent) et de Q pubescens (caducifolie) n'a ete affectee que pour un potentiel ...

On the pathways feeding the H₂ production process in nutrient-replete, hypoxic conditions : commentary on the article 'Low oxygen levels contribute to improve photohydrogen production in mixotrophic non-stressed Chlamydomonas cultures', by Jurado-Oller et al., Biotechnology for Biofuels, published September 7, 2015; 8:149 [PDF]
Background: Under low O-2 concentration ( hypoxia) and low light, Chlamydomonas cells can produce H-2 gas in nutrient-replete conditions. This process is hindered by the presence of O-2, which inactivates the [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzyme responsible for H-2

N-Methylanilinocyanoacrylate Photosystem II Inhibitors. Structure-Activity Relationships
Abstract Many 3-N-methylanilino cyanoacrylate derivatives are potent inhibitors of photosynthetic electron transport at the PS II level in a thylakoid system isolated from Pisum sativum. These inhibitors are somewhat unusual in that they take more than 15 min to equilibrate with the binding site in contrast to most classical PS II ...

Induction Kinetics of Photosystem I-Activated P700 Oxidation in Plant Leaves and Their Dependence on Pre-Energization [PDF]
Absorbance changes ¿A 810 were measured in pea (Pisum sativum L., cv. Premium) leaves to track redox transients of chlorophyll P700 during and after irradiation with far red (FR) light under various preillumination conditions in the absence and presence ...

The effect of Cd2+ on the release of proteins from thylakoid membranes of tomato leaves
The polypeptide pattern of the thylakoid membrane was investigated to elucidate the decrease of photosystem II (PSII) activity due to Cd2+ incubation. The release of polypeptides depended on the concentration of the metal and time of incubation.

Modification of photosystem II activity by protein phosphorylation
Phosphorylation of proteins within pea thylakoid membranes decreases photosystem II (PSII) mediated electron transfer at saturating light intensities which, according to changes in room temperature chlorophyll fluorescence transients, is due to a modification in the electron transfer from QAto QB.
