Energy Transfer Inhibitors of Photophosphorylation in Chloroplasts

  • Chapter
Photosynthesis I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 5))

Abstract

The synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi by chloroplasts (photophosphorylation) is coupled in a complex manner to light-dependent electron flow. Although nonidentified intermediates could exist, the evidence supports the concept (Mitchell, 1961, 1966) that an electrochemical gradient in H+ serves to couple phosphorylation to electron flow (for recent reviews, see Hind and McCarty, 1973; Jagendorf, 1975; McCarty, 1976). Reagents which either prevent the formation of the H+ gradient (inhibitors of electron flow) or promote its dissipation (uncouplers) inhibit photophosphorylation. In addition, a more terminal step in photophosphorylation may be inhibited without a direct effect on the rate of electron flow or on the magnitude of the H+ gradient. Reagents which block phosphorylation in this manner are called energy transfer inhibitors.
