    Notes: Abstract Photosystem II particles were exposed to 800 W m−2 white light at 20 °C under anoxic conditions. The Fo level of fluorescence was considerably enhanced indicating formation of stable-reduced forms of the primary quinone electron acceptor, QA. The Fm level of fluorescence declined only a little. The g=1.9 and g=1.82 EPR forms characteristic of the bicarbonate-bound and bicarbonate-depleted semiquinone-iron complex, QA −Fe2+, respectively, exhibited differential sensitivity against photoinhibition. The large g=1.9 signal was rapidly diminished but the small g=1.82 signal decreased more slowly. The S2-state multiline signal, the oxygen evolution and photooxidation of the high potential form of cytochrome b-559 were inhibited approximately with the same kinetics as the g=1.9 signal. The low potential form of oxidized cytochrome b-559 and Signal IIslow arising from TyrD + decreased considerably slower than the g=1.9 semiquinone-iron signal. The high potential form of oxidized cytochrome b-559 was diminished faster than the low potential form. Photoinhibition of the g=1.9 and g=1.82 forms of QA was accompanied with the appearance and gradual saturation of the spin-polarized triplet signal of P 680. The amplitude of the radical signal from photoreducible pheophytin remained constant during the 3 hour illumination period. In the thermoluminescence glow curves of particles the Q band (S2QA − charge recombination) was almost completely abolished. To the contrary, the C band (TyrD +QA − charge recombination) increased a little upon illumination. The EPR and thermoluminescence observations suggest that the Photosystem II reaction centers can be classified into two groups with different susceptibility against photoinhibition.

    Notes: Abstract Iron is the quantitatively most important trace metal involved in thylakoid reactions of all oxygenic organisms since linear (= non-cyclic) electron flow from H2O to NADP+ involves PS II (2–3 Fe), cytochrome b6-f (5 Fe), PS I (12 Fe), and ferredoxin (2 Fe); (replaceable by metal-free flavodoxin in certain cyanobacteria and algae under iron deficiency). Cytochrome c6 (1 Fe) is the only redox catalyst linking the cytochrome b6-f complex to PS I in most algae; in many cyanobacteria and Chlorophyta cytochrome c6 and the copper-containing plastocyanin are alternatives, with the availability of iron and copper regulating their relative expression, while higher plants only have plastocyanin. Iron, copper and zinc occur in enzymes that remove active oxygen species and that are in part bound to the thylakoid membrane. These enzymes are ascorbate peroxidase (Fe) and iron-(cyanobacteria, and most al gae) and copper-zinc- (some algae; higher plants) superoxide dismutase. Iron-containing NAD(P)H-PQ oxidoreductase in thylakoids of cyanobacteria and many eukaryotes may be involved in cyclic electron transport around PS I and in chlororespiration. Manganese is second to iron in its quantitative role in the thylakoids, with four Mn (and 1 Ca) per PS II involved in O2 evolution. The roles of the transition metals in redox catalysts can in broad terms be related to their redox chemistry and to their availability to organisms at the time when the pathways evolved. The quantitative roles of these trace metals varies genotypically (e.g. the greater need for iron in thylakoid reactions of cyanobacteria and rhodophytes than in other O2-evolvers as a result of their lower PS II:PS I ratio) and phenotypically (e.g. as a result of variations in PS II:PS I ratio with the spectral quality of incident radiation).
