Abstract— The use of an inexpensive pulsed laser diode (Hamamatsu picosecond light pulser PLP-01) as the excitation source for a single photon timing spectrolluorimeter with microchannel plate photomultiplier detection was dem-onstrated. The performance of the instrument was tested with two very short-lived fluorescent dyes and two pho-tosynthetic systems with wcll-defined decay characteristics. Individual fluorescence decays were analyzed by modeling with a convolution of the instrument response function to a sum of exponential decay components. Accurate fluorcscence lifetimcs of the dyes cryptocyanine (55 ps in acetone and 83 ps in ethanol) and 1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-dicarbocyanine iodide (13 ps in acetone and 26 ps in ethanol) were obtained by analysis of the decay kinetics with a single exponential component. Fits to the fluorescence decay kinetics of isolated photosystem I particles and intact cyanobacterial cells required three and four decay components. respectively. The decay kinetics of the isolated photosystem I preparation were dominated (99%) by a very fast 9 ps lifetime, reflecting the preparation's small antenna size of approximately 30 chlorophyll a . The cyanobackria showed decay components of 35 ps, 160 ps, 400 ps and 1.95 ns similar to those described previously by Mullincaux and Holzwarth ( Rinchim. Biophys. Acfa 1098 , 68–78, 1991). The performance of the pulsed laser diode as an excitation source for single photon timing is discussed in comparison with conventional sources of picosecond light pulses. 相似文献

Abstract— Chlorophyll fluorescence spectra of LCHII, the light harvesting complex of photosystem II, have been recorded in the aggregated and trimeric forms for a range of temperatures from 293 to 4 K. At least five long-wavelength emitters in the 682–702 nm region with different temperature dependencies were found in the spectra of the aggregates. At 293 K the yield of LCHII trimers was higher than aggregates by a factor of 4, but, upon lowering the temperature, a fluorescence rise was observed which was much stronger for LCHII aggregates than for LCHII trimers, so that at 4 K their yields were comparable. The implications of these data in terms of the function of LCHII are discussed. 相似文献

–P-Type delayed fluorescence and sensitised P-Type delayed fluorescence have been observed from solutions of chlorophylls a and b in ethanol. E-Type delayed fluorescence has been observed from solutions in propylene glycol. The measurements in propylene glycol have yielded approximate values for the triplet energies of chlorophylls a and b. Measurements of the emissions from the ethanolic solutions have been used to calculate approximate values of the triplet formation efficiencies in this solvent. The sums of the fluorescence and triplet formation efficiencies in ethanol fall far short of unity and the triplet formation efficiencies therefore need to be confirmed by an independent method before they can be accepted with confidence. 相似文献

Abstract— –With background illumination the delayed fluorescence intensity from Chlorella pyrenoidosa observed at 1 msec following a flash of light is greatly increased. It is shown that the background illumination makes a photosystem II product that increases the delayed fluorescence yield and decays in the dark with second order kinetics. The delayed fluorescence observed at 1 msec appears to be more closely related to the primary energy conversion act than delayed fluorescence observed at longer times which is more indicative of electron transport chemical activity. 相似文献

Abstract— The induction transient of delayed light of chlorophyll a, excited by repetitive flashes (0.5 ms in duration) and emitted 0.1 - 1.2 ms after the flashes, was measured in system II particles derived from spinach chloroplasts. An uncoupler, gramicidin S, was always added to the particles in order to eliminate the influence of the phosphorylation system on the delayed light and to isolate a direct relationship between the delayed light emission and the primary photochemical reaction, except for the experiments described in the next paragraph. The yield of delayed light emission from the system II particles was found to be about three–times higher than that of chloroplasts on a chlorophyll content basis. System I particles, on the other hand, emitted much weaker delayed light than chloroplasts. Upon intermittent illumination, induction of delayed light in system II particles showed a decrease from the initial rise level to the steady-state level. The initial rise level was the maximum. The fluorescence induction, on the other hand, exhibited an increase from the initial rise level to the maximum steady-state level. The induction of both delayed light emission and fluorescence arrived at their final steady-state levels after the same period of illumination. Induction of delayed light emission was measured under various conditions that changed the oxidation-reduction state of the primary electron acceptor, X, of photoreaction II: by adding an electron acceptor and an inhibitor of electron transport, and by changing the light intensity. The state of A'was monitored by measuring the fluorescence yield. The yield of delayed light emission excited by each flash was found to depend on the amount of oxidized form of X present before the flash. To examine the role of the primary electron donor Y of photoreaction II in delayed light emission, effects of electron donors of photoreaction II such as Mn2+, hydroquinone and p-phenylenediamine were investigated. These agents were found to markedly decrease the yield of delayed light emission without altering the pattern of its induction. They had little effect on the induction of fluorescence. These findings are interpreted by a mechanism in which transformation of the reaction center from the form (X-Y+) into (X Y) produces a singlet excitation of chlorophyll a that is the source of millisecond delayed light emission. This reaction is probably non–physiological and must be very slow if compared to the transformation of (X-Y+) into (X-Y). Since the form (X-Y+) is produced when the excitation is transferred to the reaction center in the form (XY), it is expected in this scheme that the yield of delayed light emission should depend on the amount of the form (X Y) present before the excitation flashes. Electron donors stimulate transformation of the reaction center from (X-Y+) into (X-Y). Since this reaction competes with the process of delayed light emission, electron donors are expected to suppress delayed light emission. 相似文献

Abstract— The properties of a pulsed ruby laser beam focused through a triocular microscope were studied in relation to microsurgery. Quantitative studies on 'model tissues' with different absorbencies at 6943 Å revealed that the spot diameter of the focused microbeam was dependent upon several factors. It decreased with (1) a decrease in the absorption by the object at 6943 Å; (2) a decrease in the energy of the microbeam; and (3) an increase in the magnification of the microscope. The existence of the 'tube of effect' in the optical path of the focused micro-beam was realized by irradiating the object at different planes. The depth of the tube of effect increased with (1) increase in laser energy or (2) decrease in magnification. By employing certain plant species ( Spirogyra praetensis Transeau, Ulva lactuca Linnaeus, Porphyra miniata (Lyngbye) C. Agardh and Elodea sp.) the reaction of the protoplasm to the laser microbeam in terms of 'primary damage' and 'secondary damage' was defined. Based on these experimental data the concept of minimal visible spot size in laser microsurgery and its limitations are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract. The fluorescence yield, φ, as a function of single picosecond laser pulse intensity was experimentally studied in spinach chloroplasts and for chlorophyll a in ethyl ether solution. The progressive decrease in φ with increasing incident intensity for in vivo chlorophyll was found to be adequately explained within the context of continuum bimolecular kinetics with a singlet-singlet fusion rate constant of γ=5×-9 cm-3 s-1 at room temperature. We discuss qualitatively how the fluorescence quantum yield depends on the duration and intensity of the incident pulse. The identity of φ vs l (the number of absorbed quanta) curves at the emission maxima of 685 nm and 735 nm for single picosecond pulse mode of excitation is explained within the context of Butler's tripartite model of the fluorescence of chloroplasts at 77 K. Various models relating γ to the singlet exciton diffusion coefficient and the Förster energy transfer rate are used to infer lower bounds to these physical parameters. Predictions and supporting experimental evidence for the tripartite model are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract In this paper we report a time-resolved investigation of transients derived from curcumin, which may be intimately involved in the processes leading to its biological activity. Fluorescence and triplet quantum yields are respectively 0.06 and 0.11. The high percentage of internal conversion is proposed to proceed via H-transfer within the thermodynamically favored enol structure of what is formally a 1,3-diketone. The triplet energy (191 ± 2 kJ mol−1 ), natural lifetime (1.5 μs) and self-quenching rate constant (5.0 × 108 L mol−1 s−1 ) have been determined. Oxygen quenching of the triplet leads to the production of singlet oxygen with unit efficiency. Curcumin quenches the latter species very inefficiently (2.5 × 105 L mob−1 s−1 ). The curcumin radical has been produced via three mechanistically distinct methods. This species is unreactive toward oxygen but is repaired by vitamins C and E and anthralin. 相似文献

Abstract— Delayed fluorescence from chromatophores of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis was measured at temperatures below 0°C. A component with a decay half-time of about 7 ms was found. Its intensity was directly proportional to the number of reaction centers in the P985+ ·A- state. During prolonged illumination it faded as electrons moved forward along the electron transport chain from the primary acceptor, A, (P985+ ·A- →P985+ ·A), and its decay in the dark paralleled the disappearence of the P985+ electron paramagnetic resonance absorption. The data suggest that this component of delayed fluorescence results from a direct reversal of the primary light reaction. While the rate of the P985+ middot;A- →P985·A reaction was almost independent of temperature, delayed fluorescence intensity displayed an apparent activation energy of 0°2 eV. It is concluded that the P985+ ·A- →P985·A reaction proceeds by parallel radiative and nonradiative routes. The direct proportionality between delayed fluorescence and the concentration of P985+ ·A- pairs seems to preclude an involvement of triplet-triplet annihilation or dependence of delayed fluorescence upon the variable prompt fluorescence yield. 相似文献

The exchange of subunits between oligomer protein particles depends upon a cycle of dissociations and associations. To examine the dynamics of these cycles we have employed two methods based on the transfer of excitation energy between fluorochromes attached to different subunits of protein oligomers, at various temperatures and pressures. In the heterotransfer method, identical solutions independently labeled with two different fluorophores, donor D and acceptor A, are mixed. The fluorescence spectrum permits the determination of the subunit exchange by the increase in A and decrease in D fluorescence as mixed AD oligomers are formed. In the homotransfer method the aggregates are labeled with fluorescein to the extent that, ideally, each subunit carries a fluorophore. The emission is strongly depolarized because sufficiently often it takes place after a transfer to a fluorophore oriented differently from the one originally excited. Both dissociation and subunit exchange with unlabeled material result in an increase in polarization and can be independently determined by the homotransfer method. Both homo- and heterotransfer have been employed in the study of the effect of temperature on the stability of the aggregates and the relation between the rate of dissociation and the rate of exchange when dissociation of oligomers is induced by hydrostatic pressure. 相似文献
