Abstract
If it is assumed that the oscillating O2 flash yield sequence of algae and chloroplasts predominantly reflects an inherent property of the O2 evolving system of the photosynthetic apparatus it is shown that the OH-radical model (O2 production by recombination of four OH radicals) is contradictory to the experimental results because it predicts an aperiodic O2 flash yield sequence. Several experimental facts already known strongly indicate that the OH-radical model is not consistent with the kinetic model for O2 evolution of KOK et al. either.Keywords
