Journal ArticleDOI
Quinones in the A1 binding site in photosystem I studied using time-resolved FTIR difference spectroscopy.
TL;DR: It is for the first time been able to unmask and identify infrared difference bands associated with neutral naphthoquinone species occupying the A1 binding site in PSI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fourier transform visible and infrared difference spectroscopy for the study of P700 in photosystem I from Fischerella thermalis PCC 7521 cells grown under white light and far-red light: Evidence that the A -1 cofactor is chlorophyll f
TL;DR: Both the visible and infrared DS indicate that neither the PA or PB pigments of P700 are Chl f molecules, but do support the conclusion that at least one of the A-1 cofactors is a ChL f molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calculated vibrational properties of semiquinones in the A1 binding site in photosystem I.
TL;DR: Two-layer ONIOM methods are used to calculate corresponding difference and double difference spectra associated with the semiquinones and it is shown that the calculated spectra can vary depending on the details of the molecular model that is used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and Calculated Infrared Spectra of Disubstituted Naphthoquinones
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present FTIR absorbance spectra for 2-bromo-3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (BrMeNQ), 2-chloromethyl-3 -methyl- 1,4 -naphTHOQUINONE (CMMENQ) in tetrahydrofuran (THF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the orientation and conformation of pigments in protein binding sites from infrared difference spectra.
Leyla Rohani,Gary Hastings +1 more
TL;DR: Comparison of calculated and experimental spectra for the reduced species (semiquinone anion) suggests that the orientation for the naphthoquinone ring in the binding site and specific side-chain conformations can be identified based on the spectra.
