[Cytochrome c immobilized on Sepharose 4B and its participation in photochemical reactions of chloroplasts]. 1977

M S Khristin, and E A Akulova, and V I Surovtsev

Cytochrome c immobilized on cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose 4B may be used to study photochemical reactions in chloroplasts. Chloroplast reduction of both immobilized and soluble forms of the cytochrome occurs along the exogenous and endogenous pathways which results in a weaker reduction of the immobilized protein as compared to that of the soluble one. The time of the reduced immobilized cytochrome c oxidation in the dark is two orders of magnitude greater than that of the soluble one. This fact may be interpreted in terms of spatial dissociation of reductase and oxidase centers of chloroplasts with reference to the cytochrome. The optimal ionic strength for cytochrome reduction, i.e. ionic strength causing an in vitro destruction of the ferredoxin-NADP-reductase complex was found to equal to 0.2 M.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009994 Osmolar Concentration The concentration of osmotically active particles in solution expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per liter of solution. Osmolality is expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Ionic Strength,Osmolality,Osmolarity,Concentration, Osmolar,Concentrations, Osmolar,Ionic Strengths,Osmolalities,Osmolar Concentrations,Osmolarities,Strength, Ionic,Strengths, Ionic
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
D010777 Photochemistry A branch of physical chemistry which studies chemical reactions, isomerization and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light. Photochemistries
D002736 Chloroplasts Plant cell inclusion bodies that contain the photosynthetic pigment CHLOROPHYLL, which is associated with the membrane of THYLAKOIDS. Chloroplasts occur in cells of leaves and young stems of plants. They are also found in some forms of PHYTOPLANKTON such as HAPTOPHYTA; DINOFLAGELLATES; DIATOMS; and CRYPTOPHYTA.

D003574 Cytochrome c Group A group of cytochromes with covalent thioether linkages between either or both of the vinyl side chains of protoheme and the protein. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p539) Cytochromes Type c,Group, Cytochrome c,Type c, Cytochromes
D003624 Darkness The absence of light. Darknesses
D004800 Enzymes, Immobilized Enzymes which are immobilized on or in a variety of water-soluble or water-insoluble matrices with little or no loss of their catalytic activity. Since they can be reused continuously, immobilized enzymes have found wide application in the industrial, medical and research fields. Immobilized Enzymes,Enzyme, Immobilized,Immobilized Enzyme
