Using optical differential spectroscopy and EPR, a parallel study of light-induced electron transfer between the primary (X1) and secondary (X2) quinone-like acceptors in the preparations of reaction centers (RC) isolated from bacterial chromatophore membranes with sodium dodecyl sulfate was carried out. The data from direct measurements of the rate constant temperature dependence for the interaction between light-reduced X1 and X2 (KX1X2) are in good agreement with the data calculated from the kinetic analysis of dark reduction of photooxidized bacteriochlorophyll RC on the acceptors X1 and X2 (KX1X2 = 2.10(-1)S at 20 degrees; Ea = 11,8 kcal.mol-1 within the temperature range of 20 degrees-- -20 degrees). This evidence proves the efficiency of the previously used approach /1, 2/ for the evaluation of the X1-X2 interaction. The method proposed was used for a kinetic analysis of a low-temperature electron transfer from X1 to X2 in RC isolated with lauryldimethylaminoxide (KX1X2 = 2,3.10(2) S-1 at 20 degrees; Ea = 5,5 kcal.mol-1 within the temperature range of 10 degrees-- --70 degrees).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008027 Light That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared range. Light, Visible,Photoradiation,Radiation, Visible,Visible Radiation,Photoradiations,Radiations, Visible,Visible Light,Visible Radiations
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
D010788 Photosynthesis The synthesis by organisms of organic chemical compounds, especially carbohydrates, from carbon dioxide using energy obtained from light rather than from the oxidation of chemical compounds. Photosynthesis comprises two separate processes: the light reactions and the dark reactions. In higher plants; GREEN ALGAE; and CYANOBACTERIA; NADPH and ATP formed by the light reactions drive the dark reactions which result in the fixation of carbon dioxide.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D013053 Spectrophotometry The art or process of comparing photometrically the relative intensities of the light in different parts of the spectrum.
D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
