Photochemotherapy For Psoria-sis
Abstract:
Results of treatment of 50 psoriatic patients with psoralen and ultraviolet radiation are reported. A detailed analysis of the data is also given. None of the patients was resistant to treatment. Complete clearing of all lesions occurred in 22% of the patients in 16 days, in 96% of the patients in 40 days and in 100% of the patients in 45 days. It is concluded that photo chemotherapy with psoralen and ultraviolet radiation from conventional uv radiation therapy lamps is a safe and effective treatment for patients with psoriasis in this country.

Photosystem I
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...

Functioning of Photosystems
Photosystems contain many pigment molecules, such as chlorophylls and carotenoids, arranged in a particular organization across two domains — the antenna complex and the reaction center. The main aim of the pigment...
