On the Impossibility of an OH-Radical Model for Photosynthetic Water Oxidation / Über die Unmöglichkeit eines OH-Radikalmodells für die photosynthetische Wasseroxidation
Abstract:OH-Radical Model for Photosynthetic Water OxidationIf it is assumed that the oscillating 02 flash yield sequence of algae and chloroplasts predominantly reflects an inherent property of the 02 evolving system of the photosynthetic apparatus it is shown that the OH-radical model (02 production by recombination of four OH radicals) is contradictory to the experimental results because it predicts an aperiodic 02 flash yield sequence.Several experimental facts already known strongly indicate that the OH-radical mo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
