Abstract
A D1/D2/Cyt b‐559 complex isolated from spinach chloroplasts contained 4 chlorophylls, 2 pheophytins and 2 hemes of Cyt b‐559 with different redox potentials measured to be +70 mV(LP) (pH 7.2) and about −500 mV (XLP). Prereduced Cyt(LP) is photooxidized at 77 K due to the interaction with the state P680+ Ph which produces the accumulation of Cyt+ P680 Ph. Another Ph molecule is reduced with a midpoint potential of −450 mV and can interact with Cyt (XLP) forming a second electron transfer chain.
