Abstract

Forward electron transfer in photosystem I from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 has been studied in the picosecond time range with transient absorption spectroscopy in the blue and near-UV spectral regions. From the direct measurement, at 380–390 nm, of the reduction kinetics of the phylloquinone secondary acceptor A 1 and from the absence of spectral evolution between 100 ps and 2 ns, we conclude that electron transfer, from the chlorophyll a primary acceptor A 0, to A 1 occurs directly and completely with a time constant of about 30 ps.
