Abstract

The basic principles of the design of direct multiparticle models and the results of multiparticle computer simulation of electron transfer by mobile protein carriers in the photosynthetic membrane of a chloroplast thylakoid are presented. The reactions of complex formation of the plastocyanin with cytochrome f and the pigment-protein complex of photosystem I, as well as of ferredoxin with FNR and photosystem I are considered. The regulatory role of diffusion and electrostatic interactions as well as the effect of the shape of the reaction volume and ionic strength on the rate of electron transport are discussed.
