Clayton RK, Szuts EZ, Fleming H: Photochemical electron transport oin photosynthetic reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides. 3. Biophys J. 1972 Jan;12(1):64-79.
Effects of orthophenanthroline and other chemicals.. Reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides mediate the photochemical oxidation of cytochrome c (cyt c), and show a time-varying fluorescence of P870. Analyses of these effects indicate that the reaction centers contain a primary photochemical electron acceptor capable of holding one electron. Native or added ubiquinone (UQ) can act as a secondary electron acceptor. Orthophenanthroline (o-phen) blocks electron transfer from primary to secondary acceptors, and allows the primary acceptor to be exhibited in the foregoing experiments. Other chelators (with the possible exception of 8-hydroxyquinoline) and dichlorophenyldimethylurea (DCMU) are without apparent effect on reaction centers. o-Phen also inhibits the primary photochemical act in reaction centers; this effect is prevented by the presence of UQ. 2-n-Nonyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (NQNO) inhibits the primary photochemistry in reaction centers but does not affect secondary electron transfer. |
