RESUMO
The flash-induced absorbance changes at 515 nanometers has been studied in chloroplasts and in digitonin subchloroplast particles of lettuce. The effect of various conditions and uncouplers was tested on the decay kinetics of this absorbance change and on ATP formation in the presence of phenazine methosulphate, either by continuous or flash illumination. It has been found that in chloroplasts, carbonyl cyanide m-chloromethoxyphenylhydrazone and nigericin in the presence of K+ accelerate the decay of the 515 change and inhibit ATP formation. However, under a variety of conditions the rate of decay of the 515 absorbance change was found to be unrelated to ATP formation. Preillumination, addition of valinomycin in the presence of K+, addition of Na+, or divalent cations accelerate the decay of the 515 absorbance change markedly but have no effect on ATP formation. Addition of phosphorylation reagents has no effect on the decay rate beyond that obtained by Mg2+ and inorganic phosphate. NH4Cl, and to some extent atebrin, while inhibiting ATP formation, do not affect the decay of the 515 absorbance change.
