Study on energy transfer between carotenoid and chlorophyll a in cytochrome b6f complex from Bryopsis corticulans.

abstract：:The coupling factor CF1 is a catalytic part of chloroplast ATP synthase which is exposed to stroma whose viscosity is many-fold higher than that of reaction mixtures commonly used to measure kinetics of CF1-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis. This study is focused on the effect of medium viscosity modulated by sucrose or bovine...
