Abstract
The peculiarities of interaction of cyanobacterial photosystem I with redox mediators 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) were investigated. The higher donor efficiency of the reduced DCPIP form was demonstrated. The oxidized form of DCPIP was shown to be an efficient electron acceptor for terminal iron–sulfur cluster of photosystem I. Likewise methyl viologen, after one-electron reduction, DCPIP transfers an electron to the molecular oxygen. These results were discussed in terms of influence of these interactions on photosystem I reactions with the molecular oxygen and natural electron acceptors.
