The temperature dependences of fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra maxima of chromophor labels--endogenic (tryptophan) and exogenic (eosinisothiocyanate)--were measured for the preparations of photosynthetic membranes and reaction centers from Rhodospirillum rubrum. It was found that the dipole mobility of protein-lipid matrix in the vicinity of the chromophores intensified markedly with a temperature rise from 150 to 300K resulting in the corresponding relaxation time tau r decrease from 10(0) to 10(-8) s. The efficiency of direct transfer of the photomobilized electron in the system of quinone acceptors (A1- leads to A2) of reaction centers (characteristic half-times of the process being 10(-3) divided by 10(-4) s) was shown also to increase sharply at temperatures higher than 200K parallel to the enhancement of molecular motions with tau r approximately 10(-8) s. Meanwhile, changes observed in the rate of recombination of primary photoproducts, i.e. an oxidized bacteriochlorophyll dimer, P+ and a reduced acceptor, A1- (characteristic half-time of 10(-1) divided by 10(-2) s) and the activization of low-frequency motions with tau r approximately 10(-3) s in the external layers and tau r less than 1 s in the internal parts of the reaction centers protein develop over the same range of low temperatures (150-220 K). The nature of interactions which determine the dependence of the photosynthetic electron transport on the molecular mobility of the membrane proteins is discussed.

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.
