Relationship of fluorescence and thermal emission from isolated thylakoids under light stress conditions

Abstract:
Simultaneous measurements of fluorescence and thermal emission have been made by a combined fluorescence and photoacoustic techniques on isolated thylakoids pretreated by a prolonged illumination of saturating light. The traces of the signals are used to calculate four characteristic parameters, energy storage, half-saturation intensity, number of photons to close reaction center, and a constant for quasi-equlibria between (re)oxidized and reduced quinone acceptors. These parameters are used to study the response of photosynthetic apparatus functioning under photoinhibition stress. The defense mechanism seems to possess an efficient cooperativity of reaction centers under stress conditions.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
