The Effects of Chemical Modification Upon Herbicide Binding in Thylakoid Membranes of Spinacia Oleracea (Spinach) and Amaranthus Hybridus (Pigweed), and The Photochemical Reaction Center of Rhodobacter Sphaeroides R26
Abstract
dc:descriptionDicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibits electron transfer between Q$\sb{\rm A}$ and Q$\sb{\rm B}$ in both higher plants and photosynthetic bacteria in an analogous manner to that seen for the classic Photosystem II inhibitors such as diuron and atrazine. It does not bind to the same binding domain as these inhibitors. It does not bind covalently, suggesting that the mechanism of inhibition in this system is a novel one for this protein modification reagent.
