TL;DR
On dark-adapted Chlorella, after one flash, plastocyanin (PC) undergoes reduction with a half-time of 7 ms, and the level of oxidized plastokyanin increases during the next few flashes before reaching a stationary value.
Abstract
For the development of H+ and H0 beams a new method was developed based on the expansion of a cascade arc plasma. A partial aim was to develop an intense beam of at. hydrogen. The result was a 100 A equiv. hydrogen atom beam with an energy conversion efficiency of typically 30-40%. The resulting hydrogen plasma was also used to do preliminary expts. on restoration treatment of archeol. artifacts according to the method of S. Veprek, et al. The present high d. atom rich plasma beam with

These results give a first direct insight into the properties of membranes on a molecular level and serve as a valuable means for deciding between the different hypotheses on the mechanism of phosphorylation.

It is concluded that the inhibition of electron transport by the quinone occurs between photosystem I and II and close to or at the functional site of plastoquinone.

The results suggest that phosphorylation in Chlorella can be driven by an electrical potential only, in agreement with formal results obtained in spinach chloroplasts and with the electrochromic hypothesis of Witt et al.

The decay half time, which after five flashes is in the region of 500 ms without addition, can be reduced to c is used to demonstrate that the course of carotenoid band shift decay has no obligate relationship to the redox state or electron transfer events of the electron carriers.

The results indicated that the overall reaction, in which the active forms of the two photoconverters are regenerated, has a low equilibrium constant K(K = 3−10), which implies a small loss of free energy in the dark reactions which connect the two photoacts and a restraint of the maximum quantum yield of the overall process.

87 Citations1976Paul M. Wood, Derek S. Bendall
The reduction of plastocyanin by plastoquinol-1 was efficiently catalysed by disrupted chloroplasts or etioplasts in the dark and evidence is presented that the reduction took place via cytochrome f, and that plastOquinone-9 was not involved.

After preillumination with System I light spinach chloroplasts were excited by one flash or a group of saturating flashes and during the following dark period the time courses of the oxidation of plastohydroquinone and of the simultaneous reduction of oxidized cytochrome f and chlorophyll aI have been measured.

The characteristics of fluorescence and O2 induction, both after darkness and after preillumination, can be explained by assuming a slow activation of System-II units, which appears to provide the basis for a general understanding of the first 2 min of photosynthetic induction.

51 Citations1974Peter Horton, William A. Cramer
It is proposed that a significant fraction of the cy tochrome ƒ population resides at a position in the membrane relatively inaccessible to the aqueous interface compared to high potential cytochrome b-559, and actinic illumination would cause a structural or conformational change in the cytochromes and/or the membrane resulting in an increase in accessibility to this fraction.

The exclusive reaction of the pool components with non-ionic oxidants supports their identification as plastoquinone and several models are discussed that explain the truncation of the oxygen flash yield versus flash period in anaerobic repetitive single-flash experiments.
