Plastoquinone (PQ) is a terpenoid-quinone (meroterpenoid) molecule involved in the electron transport chain in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The most common form of plastoquinone, known as PQ-A or PQ-9, is a 2,3-dimethyl-1,4- benzoquinone molecule with a side chain of nine isoprenyl units.
The light-harvesting complex (or antenna complex; LH or LHC) is an array of protein and chlorophyll molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane of plants and cyanobacteria, which transfer light energy to one chlorophyll a molecule at the reaction center of a photosystem. The antenna pigments are predominantly chlorophyll b, xanthophylls, and ...
Cytochrome c 1 transfers its electron to cytochrome c (not to be confused with cytochrome c1), and the B H Heme transfers its electron to a nearby ubiquinone, resulting in the formation of a ubisemiquinone. Cytochrome c diffuses. The first ubiquinol (now oxidised to ubiquinone) is released, whilst the semiquinone remains bound. Round 2:
This article provides a summary description of many of the different antenna types used for radio receiving or transmitting systems. This summary article collects groups of antennas based on their electrical operation. The classification and sub-classifications below follow those typically used in most antenna engineering textbooks. [1] [2] [3 ...
The first reaction of Q cycle is the 2-electron oxidation of ubiquinol by two oxidants, c 1 (Fe 3+) and ubiquinone: CoQH 2 + cytochrome c 1 (Fe 3+) + CoQ' → CoQ + CoQ' −• + cytochrome c 1 (Fe 2+) + 2 H + (intermembrane) The second reaction of the cycle involves the 2-electron oxidation of a second ubiquinol by two oxidants, a fresh c 1 ...
The difference between Photosystem II and the bacterial reaction center is the source of the electron that neutralizes the pair of chlorophyll a molecules. In the bacterial reaction center, the electron is obtained from a reduced compound haem group in a cytochrome subunit or from a water-soluble cytochrome-c protein.
Channel Master and Blonder Tongue Labs ignored the patents and produced a wide range of antennas based on that design. Lawsuits regarding the antenna patent, which the U.I. Foundation lost, evolved into the 1971 Blonder-Tongue Doctrine. This precedent governs patent litigation. [14]
Each antenna is alternately connected to a transmitter having a particular source impedance, and a receiver having the same input impedance (the impedance may differ between the two antennas). It is assumed that the two antennas are sufficiently far apart that the properties of the transmitting antenna are not affected by the load placed upon ...
