Phosphatidylcholine reconstitution showed no significant effect on the protein secondary structures of PSⅡ membrane but an increase of the rate of PSⅡ_mediated oxygen_evolution. The phosphatidylcholine lipids with different length of acyl chains displayed different capabilities to stimulate oxygen_evolution. In contrast, perturbation of the bilayer lipids by TX_100 resulted in obvious changes of the protein secondary structures within the PSⅡ membrane and in the loss of the PSⅡ_mediated oxygen_evolving activity. The results indicate the importance of membrane integrity in maintaining the stability of the photosynthetic membrane proteins.展开更多
The phenomenon of fluorescence enhancement for the system of terbium(b!) with terephthalic acid (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (TPA)) in the presence of an excess of La3+ in Triton X-100 aqueous solution has been stud...The phenomenon of fluorescence enhancement for the system of terbium(b!) with terephthalic acid (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (TPA)) in the presence of an excess of La3+ in Triton X-100 aqueous solution has been studied. The fluorescence intensity of Tbb!-TPA system can be greatly increased by La3+. The intermolecular transfer of energy was responsible for the mechanism of the fluorescence enhancement. Triton X-100 plays an important role for the stabilization of the system. The system, having the maximum excitation and emission wavelengths at 256 nm and 546 nm, respectively, shows a constant fluorescence intensity over the pH range between 4-6. The fluorescence intensity is a linear function of Tb3+concentration in the range of 1.00 ?展开更多
