Effect of Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> on spectral characteristic of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex from spinach

It was studied by spectroscopy that PSII reaction center complex consisting of three polypeptides, D₁, D₂ and Cytb559, were purified from PSII particle of CeCl₃ treated spinach. The results of the experiment show that Ce³⁺ could improve the growth of spinach, and accelerate electron transport of PSII particles. Of chl-a of UV-Vis spectrum of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex, Soret band was blue-shifted by 3 nm and Q band by 2 nm, respectively, and the fluorescence emission peak was blue-shifted by 5 nm in CeCl₃-treated spinach compared with the one in control. By the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy methods, it has been found that Ce³⁺ is coordinated with 8 nitrogen atoms in the first coordination shell with Ce-N bond length of 0.253 nm, and Ce³⁺ with 6 oxygen atoms in the second coordination shell with Ce-O bond length of 0.32 nm. However, the secondary structure of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has no significant change after CeCl₃ treated. It might be that Ce³⁺ binds to porphyrin rings of chlorophyll and oxygen of amino acid residue of polypeptide in D1/D2/Cytb559 complex, and then accelerates the primary reaction of PSII, intensifies function of P680⁺ primary electron donor of D1/D2/Cytb559, but there is little change in conformation of PSII reaction center complex.     

LaCl3提高菠菜光系统Ⅱ活性的作用机制

The effect of LaCl3 on the K3Fe(CN)6 (FeCy) reduction rate and the oxygen-evolving rate of PSU particles of spinach, and the spectral characterization of the D1/D2/Cytb559 of a PSII reaction center complex consisting of three polypeptides from spinach were studied. The experimental results showed that LaCl3 could significantly accelerate the transformation from light energy to electric energy, the electron transport, water photolysis and oxygen evolution of PSII of spinach, which was related to the spectral characterization of the D1/D2/Cytb559 complex.Soret band and Q band of Chl-a of UV-vis spectrum of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex were blue shifted, and the fluorescence emission peak was blue shifted in LaCl3 treated spinach compared with that in the control. The EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy) revealed that La^3 was coordinated with 8 nitrogen or oxygen atoms in the first coordination shell with La-N or La-O bond length of 0.254 nm, and with 6 nitrogen or oxygen atoms in the second coordination shell with La-N or La-O bond length of 0.321 nm in the D1/D2/Cytb559 complex. The CD suggested that the secondary structure of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex have been litfie affected by the treatment of LaCl3.     

Promotion of nano-anatase TiO2 on the spectral responses and photochemical activities of D1/D2/Cyt b559 complex of spinach

Previous researches approved that photocatalysis activity of nano-TiO₂ could obviously increase photosynthetic effects of spinach, but the mechanism of improving light energy transfer and conversion is still unclear. In the present we investigated effects of nano-anatase TiO₂ on the spectral responses and photochemical activities of D1/D2/Cyt b559 complex of spinach. Several effects of nano-anatase TiO₂ were observed: (1) UV–vis spectrum was blue shifted in both Soret and Q bands, and the absorption intensity was obviously increased; (2) resonance Raman spectrum showed four main peaks, which are ascribed to carotene, and the Raman peak intensity was as 6.98 times as that of the control; (3) the fluorescence emission peak was blue shifted and the intensity was decreased by 23.59%; (4) the DCPIP photoreduction activity showed 129.24% enhancement; (5) the oxygen-evolving rate of PS II was elevated by 51.89%. Taken together, the studies of the experiments showed that nano-anatase TiO₂ had bound to D1/D2/Cyt b559 complex, promoted the spectral responses, leading to the improvement of primary electron separation, electron transfer and light energy conversion of D1/D2/Cyt b559 complex.     

P680 (P(D1)P(D2)) and Chl(D1) as alternative electron donors in photosystem II core complexes and isolated reaction centers

Low temperature (77-90 K) measurements of absorption spectral changes induced by red light illumination in isolated photosystem II (PSII) reaction centers (RCs, D1/D2/Cyt b559 complex) with different external acceptors and in PSII core complexes have shown that two different electron donors can alternatively function in PSII: chlorophyll (Chl) dimer P(680) absorbing at 684 nm and Chl monomer Chl(D1) absorbing at 674 nm. Under physiological conditions (278 K) transient absorption difference spectroscopy with 20-fs resolution was applied to study primary charge separation in spinach PSII core complexes excited at 710 nm. It was shown that the initial electron transfer reaction takes place with a time constant of ~0.9 ps. This kinetics was ascribed to charge separation between P(680)* and Chl(D1) absorbing at 670 nm accompanied by the formation of the primary charge-separated state P(680)(+)Chl(DI)(-), as indicated by 0.9-ps transient bleaching at 670 nm. The subsequent electron transfer from Chl(D1)(-) occurred within 13-14 ps and was accompanied by relaxation of the 670-nm band, bleaching of the Pheo(D1) Q(x) absorption band at 545 nm, and development of the anion-radical band of Pheo(D1)(-) at 450-460 nm, the latter two attributable to formation of the secondary radical pair P(680)(+)Pheo(D1)(-). The 14-ps relaxation of the 670-nm band was previously assigned to the Chl(D1) absorption in isolated PSII RCs [Shelaev, Gostev, Nadtochenko, Shkuropatov, Zabelin, Mamedov, Semenov, Sarkisov and Shuvalov, Photosynth. Res. 98 (2008) 95-103]. We suggest that the longer wavelength position of P(680) (near 680 nm) as a primary electron donor and the shorter wavelength position of Chl(D1) (near 670 nm) as a primary acceptor within the Q(y) transitions in RC allow an effective competition with an energy transfer and stabilization of separated charges. Although an alternative mechanism of charge separation with Chl(D1)* as the primary electron donor and Pheo(D1) as the primary acceptor cannot be ruled out, the 20-fs excitation at the far-red tail of the PSII core complex absorption spectrum at 710 nm appears to induce a transition to a low-energy state P(680)* with charge-transfer character (probably P(D1)(δ+)P(D2)(δ-)) which results in an effective electron transfer from P(680)* (the primary electron donor) to Chl(D1) as the intermediary acceptor.

Controlled ligand deprotonation in lanthanide chelates with asymmetric semicarbazone/benzoylhydrazone or semicarbazone/thiosemicarbazone coordination spheres

Asymmetric, potentially pentadentate ligands (H(2)L(3)) are formed by subsequent condensation of a semicarbazide and benzoylhydrazine on 2,6-diacetylpyridine. Two equivalents of H(2)L(3) reacts with CeCl(3).7H(2)O, Ce(SO(4))(2).4H(2)O, or EuCl(3).6H(2)O under formation of [Ln(III)(HL(3))(2)](+) cations (Ln = Ce, Eu) with exclusive deprotonation of the benzoylhydrazone ligand arms. The Ce(4+) ion of the sulfate salt is reduced during the reaction and forms 10-coordinate singly charged complex cations, the structure of which is identical to the product of the reaction of cerium(III) chloride. The exact position of deprotonation in the ligands is resolved by infrared spectroscopy, bond lengths considerations, and the hydrogen bonding in the solid-state structures of the products. A similar approach allows the synthesis of mixed semicarbazone/thiosemicarbazone ligands (H(2)L(4)). The reaction of H(2)L(4) with Sm(NO(3))(3).6H(2)O leads to the first structurally characterized lanthanide complex with thiosemicarbazone coordination. The solid-state structure of the 10-coordinate complex [Sm(HL(4))(2)]NO(3).H(2)O shows exclusive deprotonation of the thiosemicarbazone arms of the ligands. All isolated complexes are air stable and do not undergo ligand exchange reactions or hydrolysis in the presence of water.

Al合金表面Ce转化膜成膜机理研究

Ce转化膜作为一种Cr转化膜的理想替代品而日益受到人们的重视，但其成膜机理还不很清楚.本文应用自行研制的扫描微参比电极技术（SMRE），原位测量经CeCl3溶液处理的2024-T3 Al合金表面微区电位分布，并结合X光电子能谱（XPS）和交流阻抗谱（EIS），对Ce转化膜的成膜机理进行探讨.结果表明，在CeCl3溶液中，Ce转化膜的形成过程是 Ce3＋和Cl－相互竞争的动态过程.当由Cl－的不均匀吸附引起的局部腐蚀使pH升高时， Ce(OH)3就会首先在局部位置发生沉积.阴极反应过程产生的H2O2可将Ce(OH)3部分氧化成CeO2.

Optical spectra of synechocystis and spinach photosystem II preparations at 1.7 K: identification of the D1-pheophytin energies and stark shifts

We report and compare highly resolved, simultaneously recorded absorption and CD spectra of active Photosystem II (PSII) samples in the range 440-750 nm. From an appropriately scaled comparison of spinach membrane fragment (BBY) and PSII core spectra, we show that key features of the core spectrum are quantitatively represented in the BBY data. PSII from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803 display spectral features in the Qy region of comparable width (50-70 cm(-1) fwhm) to those seen in plant PSII but the energies of the resolved features are distinctly different. A comparison of spectra taken of PSII poised in the S1QA and S2QA(-) redox states reveals electrochromic shifts largely attributable to the influence of QA(-) on Pheo(D1). This allows accurate determinations of the Pheo(D1) Qy absorption positions to be at 685.0 nm for spinach cores, 685.8 nm for BBY particles, and 683.0 nm for Synechocystis. These are discussed in terms of earlier reports of the Pheo(D1) energies in PSII. The Qx transition of Pheo(D1) undergoes a blue shift upon Q(A) reduction, and we place a lower limit of 80 cm(-1) on this shift in plant material. By comparing the magnitude of the Stark shifts of the Qx and Qy bands of Pheo(D1), the directions of the transition-induced dipole moment changes, Deltamu(x) and Deltamu(y), for this functionally important pigment could be determined, assuming normal magnitudes of the Deltamu's. Consequently, Deltamu(x) and Deltamu(y) are determined to be approximately orthogonal to the directions expected for these transitions. Low-fluence illumination experiments at 1.7 K resulted in very efficient formation of QA(-). This was accompanied by cyt b(559) oxidation in BBYs and carotenoid oxidation in cores. No chlorophyll oxidation was observed. Our data allow us to estimate the quantum efficiency of PSII at this temperature to be of the order 0.1-1. No Stark shift associated with the S1-to-S2 transition of the Mn cluster is evident in our samples. The similarity of Stark data in plants and Synechocystis points to minimal interactions of Pheo(D1) with nearby chloropyll pigments in active PSII preparations. This appears to be at variance with interpretations of experiments performed with inactive solubilized reaction-center preparations.

Effect of the pH on the absorption spectrum of the isolated D1-D2-cytochrome b559 complex of photosystem II

The effect of pH on the Q_y absorption band has been studied in the isolated D1-D2-cytochrome b559 complex. The pH treatments are done on an ion-exchange chromatographic column. The absorption spectra at 77 K of the complex treated with acidic pH show irreversible loss of absorbance at both the blue and the red sides of the Q_y absorption band, with minima at 664.5 and 683.5 nm, respectively. These absorption changes are not accompanied by modifications in the Q_x absorption region characteristic of pheophytin pigments. Furthermore, the pigment composition of the D1-D2-cytochrome b559 complex remains unchanged after this treatment. The effects of basic pH are similar to those of acidic pH, but somewhat more pronounced. These results suggest that chlorophyll pigments absorbing at 664.5 and 683.5 nm are located on or close to the surface of the complex. Freezing/thawing cycle treatment first affects the band absorbing at 683.6 nm, indicating that it corresponds to the chlorophyll most exposed to the medium in the D1-D2-cytochrome b559 complex. At pH <5 a small reversible change at 672.5 nm is measured that correlates with a reversible change at 542 nm, indicating that inactive pheophytin a will absorb at this wavelength.     

Inverse Ubbelohde effect in the short hydrogen bond of photosystem II: Relation between H/D isotope effect and symmetry in potential energy profile

The short hydrogen bond between tyrosine Y_z and D1‐His190 of photosystem II (PSII) was investigated using multicomponent quantum mechanics, where the quantum fluctuation of a hydrogen nucleus was incorporated into electronic structure calculation. Our computation demonstrated that the deuteration for hydrogen in the short hydrogen bond of PSII led to the reduction of the O…N distance. It indicated an inverse Ubbelohde effect typically recognized in strong and symmetric hydrogen‐bonding clusters such as FHF^– and . We confirmed that the relation between the geometric isotope effect and the symmetry of the potential energy profile of FHF^– was reasonably agreed with that of PSII. According to this agreement, the short hydrogen bond in PSII can be regarded as a short strong hydrogen bond. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
