Abstract

Uncouplers of photosynthetic phosphorylation, CCCP, TTFB and PCP, inhibited light-induced O 2 evolution in the Hill reaction with SiMo ( I 50 ∼20, 3 and 45 μM, respectively), but only insignificantly diminished SiMo photoreduction by pea chloroplasts. The same properties were exhibited by the ADRY agent ANT2p. CCCP, TTFB and PCP are oxidizable compounds with redox potentials of +1.17, +1.18 and +1.09 V (pH 6.0), as determined by cyclic voltammetry. Similarly to NH 2OH, the tested uncouplers can apparently serve as electron donors for photosystem II.
