Chlorophyll-Proteins: Membrane-Bound Photoreceptor Complexes in Plants

  • Chapter
The Enzymes of Biological Membranes

Abstract

The chlorophyll in photosynthetic organisms can be divided on a functional basis into two distinct categories. One category is represented by the light-harvesting or antennae chlorophylls which account for the vast majority of the chlorophyll in the membrane. The other category is represented by only a few (1%) specialized chlorophylls. The former group functions in absorbing and efficiently transferring the energy of light to the latter few specialized chlorophylls. These specialized chlorophylls reside in what is termed a reaction center, where they function as the electron donor in the primary photochemical event of the photosynthetic process. These two chlorophyll groups are amalgamated with a primary electron acceptor as well as with other electron-transfer components into a functional photosynthetic entity called a photo-system. In plant photosynthesis two such photosystems, photosystems II and I, act in series to bring about the transfer of electrons from water to NADP+. This electron flow is accompanied by the formation of ATP.
