Abstract:
We demonstrate that thiouredopyrene-3,6,8-trisulfonate (TUPS), a photoactivatable reagent, can rapidly inject electrons into complex redox enzymes, enabling studies of the kinetics of internal electron that are not accessible using conventional rapid mixing, stopped-flow methods.

Both these photosystems work in concert. An excited electron from PSII is relayed to PSI via an electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, which is comprised of the carrier molecule plastoquinone, the dual-protein cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin. As electrons move between PSII and PSI, they lose energy and must be re-energized...
