SPECTRAL EVIDENCE FOR A NEW PHOTOREACTIVE COMPONENT OF THE OXYGEN-EVOLVING SYSTEM IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

On illuminating chloroplasts with “short-wavelength” monochromatic light that supports oxygen evolution, spectral evidence was obtained for a new photoreactive chloroplast component, provisionally designated C550, which shows a reversible decrease of absorbance with a maximum at 550 mμ. The light-induced absorbance changes in C550 have been separated from those due to cytochromes in the same spectral region.
