Influence of substituted 1,4-anthraquinones on the chlorophyll fluorescence and photochemical activity of pea thylakoid membranes

The effect of substituted 1,4-anthraquinones on the photochemical activity and chlorophyll fluorescence of thylakoid membranes was examined. Both the fluorescence and the photochemical activity depend on the 1,4-anthraquinone substituent. Stronger quinone-induced quenching of the chlorophyll fluorescence than quinone-induced changes in the activity of photosystem II is observed. The type (Cl or Br) and the position (Cl) of the chalogen atom strongly influence the degree of inhibition of PSII electron transport and the quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence. The data suggest that the quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence is due rather to the interaction of the 1,4-anthraquinones and chlorophyll molecules than to an indirect effect caused by stimulation of the photochemistry.     

INFLUENCE OF ELECTRIC FIELDS ON FLUORESCENCE QUENCHING OF CHLOROPHYLL a IN NEMATIC LIQUID CRYSTAL MATRIX

Abstract— An electric field enhances the yield of fluorescence of chlorophyll in a liquid crystal solvent. The presented data suggest that the electric field effect is caused by the decrease in the efficiency of fluorescence quenching by ions. Quenching of each polarized component of fluorescence of chlorophyll molecules oriented by the liquid crystal matrix is different. The relative increase in fluorescence yield due to the applied electric field is stronger for a fluorescence component polarized parallel to the direction of liquid crystal orientation than for the perpendicular component.     

DODECYLPYRIDINIUM ALKANOATES STABILIZE DISPERSED CHLOROPHYLL

In the presence of a surfactant that does not ligate Mg, chlorophyll is adsorbed to polyethylene particles swollen with tetradecane principally as the infrared-absorbing, highly polymeric species Chl 740. Examples of such surfactants are quaternary ammonium salts and soaps. However, when surfactants of opposite charge are present together, in this case dodecylpyridinium iodide and Na butyrate or myristate, chlorophyll may exist entirely in a dispersed form absorbing around 666 nm. Absorption and fluorescence spectral data show that much of the dispersed pigment is still associated, but as dimeric and perhaps short oligomeric species. It is concluded from fluorescence lifetime analysis that most of the observed fluorescence comes from a small population of chlorophyll that is probably monomeric and isolated; fluorescence of more highly associated species decays with a wide range of lifetimes. The capacity for photochemical sensitization of these particles with dispersed chlorophyll is similar to that of particles with ligating surfactants examined earlier. Structures are suggested for chlorophyll association in which Mg is ligated by water hydrogen-bonded to a carboxylate group, while the dodecylpyridinium counterion lies near the chlorophyll ring. The effect of the two surfactants is synergistic. Overall, spectra of dispersed chlorophyll adsorbates resemble most closely those of colloidal chlorophyll suspensions prepared by dilution of solutions in polar organic solvents with water.     

Photo-electrochemical control of photosystem II chlorophyll fluorescence in vivo

The effect of electric field on chlorophyll fluorescence is considered on the basis of the reversible radical pair model. The hypothesis is presented that the electric fields generated by photosynthetic charge separation in reaction centers and propagated laterally through the thylakoid lumen are associated with changes in chlorophyll fluorescence yield.     

Phosphatidylcholine-induced reactivation of photosystem II membranes pretreated with Triton X-100

Triton X-100-induced inactivation and phosphatidylcholine-induced reactivation of photosystem II (PSII) membranes were investigated using oxygen electrode, variable fluorescence and spectroscopic techniques including absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Incubation of the PSII membrane with Triton X-100 reduced the oxygen-evolving rate, modified the variable chlorophyll fluorescence kinetics, changed the protein secondary structures, altered the chlorophyll binding state to proteins and decreased the excitonic interaction of chlorophyll molecules. Phosphatidylcholine addition did not change the protein secondary structures, but could partially reactivate the reduced oxygen-evolving rate, and partly reversed the variable fluorescence parameters, the chlorophyll binding state and the excitonic interaction of the chlorophyll molecules. The results indicate that the phosphatidylcholine environment can optimize the tertiary structures of PSII.     

EXCITATION TRANSFER BY CHLOROPHYLL a IN MONOLAYERS AND THE INTERACTION WITH CHLOROPLAST GLYCOLIPIDS*

In mixed monolayers with purified chloroplast glycolipids and other colorless lipids, chlorophyll a fluorescence exhibits a decrease in quantum efficiency with increasing chlorophyll concentration. The fluorescence, which is strongly polarized in dilute films, becomes progressively depolarized as the area fraction of chlorophyll increases, and it is completely depolarized in a pure chlorophyll a monolayer. The observed behavior is consistent with an inductive resonance mechanism of energy transfer among the chlorophyll molecules with a critical transfer distance of 20–90 Å, depending on the model chosen for the energy transfer mechanism. The purified glycolipids–mono-and digalactosyl diglycerides and sulfoquinovodiglyceride–separately form stable, compressible monolayers of the liquid-expanded type on an aqueous subphase and in an atompshere of nitrogen. At maximum compression the three glycolipids occupy areas of 55, 80 and 47 A²-molecule^-1, respectively, in the monolayer. Mixed monolayers of chlorophyll a with, separately, the monogalactolipid and the sulfolipid behave upon compression as two-dimensional solutions. The fluorescence polarization at high chlorophyll concentrations in mixed monolayers indicates that several of the lipid diluents facilitate local ordering of the pigment molecules.     

POLARIZATION OF FLUORESCENCE FROM BACTERIOCHLOROPHYLL IN CASTOR OIL, IN CHROMATOPHORES AND AS P870 IN PHOTOSYNTHETIC REACTION CENTERS

Abstract— The polarization of fluorescence from isolated photosynthetic reaction centers and from light harvesting chlorophyll in photosynthetic units was measured over a wide range of exciting wavelengths. In addition, the fluorescence polarization of bacteriochlorophyll was measured. The simplest interpretation of the data is that in the bacterial reaction center, the three chlorophyll molecules closely associated with photochemical oxidation do not have their transition moments parallel to one another. Highly polarized fluorescence was also observed from the intact photosynthetic unit.     

PHOTOCHEMICAL AND SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF A PARTICULATE MODEL SYSTEM OF CHLOROPHYLL WITH AMPHIPHILES PREPARED FROM HISTAMINE

Abstract— In the photosynthesis model system described, chlorophyll a at an interface photosensitizes the transfer of hydrogen equivalents from a hydrocarbon phase to an aqueous phase. The hydrocarbon phase, to which chlorophyll is adsorbed, consists of polyethylene particles swollen with tetradecane. The particles are also charged positive by co-adsorption of dodecylpyridinium iodide. Furthermore, chlorophyll is ligated with the imidazole function of one of several amphiphiles derived from histamine, which may or may not contain a reducible nitroaromatic group that can serve as primary electron acceptor from photoexcited chlorophyll. The fluorescence quantum yield of chlorophyll on these particles is diminished by self-association of the pigment and by reaction with an oxidizing amphiphile; in the latter case, the quantum yield is correlated with the one-electron redox potential of the amphiphile. Fluorescence-lifetime analysis reveals that most excited singlet states of chlorophyll are quenched rather quickly, and that most of the fluorescence comes from a small fraction of chlorophyll with long lifetime. All preparations sensitize the photoreduction of 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) (DTNB) to the water-soluble thiolate by hydrazobenzene. When the amphiphile that ligates chlorophyll is not oxidizing, the quantum yield of photoreduction is unrelated to the fluorescence yield of the particles, but may be related to the degree of self-association of chlorophyll. When the amphiphile that ligates chlorophyll is oxidizing, the kinetics of photoreduction of DTNB require that the electron passes through the primary oxidant to DTNB. Quantum yields for photosensitized reducton of oxidizing amphiphiles in the absence of DTNB have a reversed correlation with redox potential, which can be rationalized in terms of the Marcus theory of electron transfer. All data are most consistently accounted for if the primary photoproduct is an ion pair of chlorophyll and primary oxidant when the latter is available, and a chlorophyll radical ion pair when it is not, both formed by electron transfer from the singlet excited state of chlorophyll.     

SPECTROSCOPIC AND ORIENTATIONAL PROPERTIES OF CHLOROPHYLL a AND CHLOROPHYLL b IN LIPID MEMBRANES

Abstract
Linear dichroism and fluorescence depolarization measurements on chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b molecules incorporated into macroscopically oriented multibilayers of the plant lipid digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) are presented. The results are combined with measurements of fluorescence anisotropy to obtain both the order parameters describing the orientational statistics and the directions of the absorption and emission transition moments in the frame of the molecules. The problem presented by the overlapping nature of the absorption and emission bands is overcome by determining the fluorescence depolarization at the two maxima of the emission spectrum.     

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CHLOROPHYLL RCI EXTRACTED FROM PHOTOSYSTEM I OF SPINACH LEAVES AND FROM GREEN ALGAE

Abstract— A new chlorophyll, designated chlorophyll RCI (Chi RCI), with absorption and fluorescence properties different to other known chlorophylls, has been extracted from photosystem I (PSI) sub-chloroplast particles of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus; it was suggested that this chlorophyll is either the chromophore ofP–700 or the chromophore of another holochrome associated in a 1:1 molar ratio withP–700. We now report the extraction and isolation of a chlorophyll from PSI particle preparations from spinach leaves with properties identical to those of Chi RCI from Scenedesmus. Its molar ratio toP–700 measured in vivo is again approximately 1:1. Chlorophyll RCI is further characterized by its fluorescence characteristics and redox behaviour. Molecular weight determinations show that Chi RCI has a mol wt 35 units higher than that of chlorophyll a (Chi a).
