Abstract：
:Electron transfer in reaction center core (RCC) complexes from the green sulfur bacteria Prosthecochloris aestuarii and Chlorobium tepidum was studied by measuring flash-induced absorbance changes. The first preparation contained approximately three iron-sulfur centers, indicating that the three putative electron acceptors F(X), F(A), and F(B) were present; the Chl. tepidum complex contained on the average only one. In the RCC complex of Ptc. aestuarii at 277 K essentially all of the oxidized primary donor (P840(+)) created by a flash was rereduced in several seconds by N-methylphenazonium methosulfate. In RCC complexes of Chl. tepidum two decay components, one of 0.7 ms and a smaller one of about 2 s, with identical absorbance difference spectra were observed. The fast component might be due to a back reaction of P840(+) with a reduced electron acceptor, in agreement with the notion that the terminal electron acceptors, F(A) and F(B), were lost in most of the Chl. tepidum complexes. In both complexes the terminal electron acceptor (F(A) or F(B)) could be reduced by dithionite, yielding a back reaction of 170 ms with P840(+). At 10 K in the RCC complexes of both species P840(+) was rereduced in 40 ms, presumably by a back reaction with F(X)(-). In addition, a 350 micros component occurred that can be ascribed to decay of the triplet of P840, formed in part of the complexes. For P840(+) rereduction a pronounced temperature dependence was observed, indicating that electron transfer is blocked after F(X) at temperatures below 200 K.
