Metal-independent decomposition of hydroperoxides by halogenated quinones: detection and identification of a quinone ketoxy radical.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 106(28) , 11466-71, (2009)

We have shown recently that halogenated quinones could enhance the decomposition of hydroperoxides and formation of alkoxyl/hydroxyl radicals through a metal-independent mechanism. However, neither the proposed quinone enoxy radical intermediate, nor the majo...

Removal of halo-benzoquinone (emerging disinfection by-product) precursor material from three surface waters using coagulation.

Water Res. 47(5) , 1773-82, (2013)

Halo-benzoquinones (HBQs) have been previously detected as disinfection by-products in chlorinated drinking water. The current work investigates the link between natural organic matter (NOM) characteristics and HBQ formation during bench-scale coagulation of ...

Microbial anaerobic demethylation and dechlorination of chlorinated hydroquinone metabolites synthesized by basidiomycete fungi.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 70(1) , 385-92, (2004)

The synthesis and degradation of anthropogenic and natural organohalides are the basis of a global halogen cycle. Chlorinated hydroquinone metabolites (CHMs) synthesized by basidiomycete fungi and present in wetland and forest soil are constituents of that cy...

Interaction of exogenous quinones with membranes of higher plant chloroplasts: modulation of quinone capacities as photochemical and non-photochemical quenchers of energy in Photosystem II during light-dark transitions.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1604(2) , 115-23, (2003)

Light modulation of the ability of three artificial quinones, 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB), 2,6-dichloro-p-benzoquinone (DCBQ), and tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone (duroquinone), to quench chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence photochemically o...

Substrate water exchange in photosystem II core complexes of the extremophilic red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1837(8) , 1257-62, (2014)

The binding affinity of the two substrate-water molecules to the water-oxidizing Mn₄CaO₅ catalyst in photosystem II core complexes of the extremophilic red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae was studied in the S₂ and S₃ states by the exchange of bound ¹⁶O-substrate...

Photoconsumption of molecular oxygen on both donor and acceptor sides of photosystem II in Mn-depleted subchloroplast membrane fragments.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1797(4) , 516-23, (2010)

Oxygen consumption in Mn-depleted photosystem II (PSII) preparations under continuous and pulsed illumination is investigated. It is shown that removal of manganese from the water-oxidizing complex (WOC) by high pH treatment leads to a 6-fold increase in the ...

Site-directed mutagenesis of basic arginine residues 305 and 342 in the CP 43 protein of photosystem II affects oxygen-evolving activity in Synechocystis 6803.

Biochemistry 38(5) , 1582-8, (1999)

The intrinsic chlorophyll protein CP 43, a component of photosystem II (PS II) in higher plants, green algae, and cyanobacteria, is encoded by the psbC gene. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was employed to introduce mutations into a segment of psbC that ...

Fluorescence induction of Photosystem II membranes shows the steps till reduction and protonation of the quinone pool.

J. Plant Physiol. 160(12) , 1499-506, (2003)

Chlorophyll fluorescence induction (Chl-F) was investigated in Photosystem II (PSII)-enriched membranes, which predominantly include active (QB reducing) PSII reaction centres (RCs) and lack Photosystem I (PSI). The Chl-F curve of these preparations show a po...

Multiflash experiments reveal a new kinetic phase of photosystem II manganese cluster assembly in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 in vivo.

Biochemistry 44(28) , 9766-74, (2005)

The assembly of Mn(2+) ions into the H(2)O oxidation complex (WOC) of the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center is a light-driven process, termed photoactivation. According to the "two-quantum" model, photoactivation involves two light-driven charge separatio...

Involvement of acceptor side components of PSII in the regulatory mechanism of Plectonema boryanum grown photoautotrophically under diazotrophic condition.

Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 194(3) , 1001-7, (1993)

Alternating peaks of photosynthetic activity (P-phase) and nitrogen fixing activity (N-phase) were shown in Plectonema boryanum grown under diazotrophic condition in continuous light. In N-phase photosystem I activity increased by 35-45% and oxygen evolution ...
