The kinetics of the charge recombination D+QA-----DQA was used to probe the protonation of the primary acceptor in reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides, in which the native ubiquinone was replaced by anthraquinone. We found that QA- is stabilized by the rapid (t less than 10(-2) s) binding of a proton, with a pK of 9.8. The distance between QA- and the proton binding site was estimated to be larger than approximately 5 A.
利用电荷复合D+QA-----DQA的动力学来探测球形红假单胞菌反应中心中初级受体的质子化情况,其中天然泛醌被蒽醌取代。我们发现QA-通过质子的快速(t小于10^(-2)秒)结合而稳定,其pK为9.8。估计QA-与质子结合位点之间的距离大于约5埃。
