Relevant: Is the study of the response of biological macromolecules to external stimuli. Often the reaction of macromolecules has an effect of structural self-regulation. In this case, their reaction is not only external infl uence, but also the spatial-temporal motions of the macromolecule. In this situation deserves the attention of electronic-conformational interactions of macromolecules. As objects are isolated Reaction Centers (RC) of bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides, the structure of which is well studied. During prolonged illumination, the RC occurs intramolecular electron transfer of RC, the kinetics of which has expressed as a sum of three different exponential functions with negative values decrements. In this case, can considered two models of electron transfer with variable or constant with time of the kinetic parameters. Problem: Arises of analyzing the kinetics of electron transfer, which infl uenced by the latent parameters of the RC protein structure, which are diffi cult to determine in the experiment. Aim: Of the work is to determine the features of intramolecular electron transfer between the conformational states of RC, which are associated with a change in the structure of the macromolecule. Result: It was determined that the position of the maxima of the wavelet transform spectrum of the logarithmic derivative of the electron transfer kinetics corresponded to the minimax values of the time dependence of the probability density of the presence of an electron in various redox-conformational states of the RC (population of redox states). Minimax values of the population of RC states corresponded to: 1-6s, 30-60s, 100-140s for various parameters of RC photoexcitation. Conclusion: That the existence of minimax values of the probability density is the electron in the conformational states of the RC can related to the effects of structural self-regulation of the electron transfer process.
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.
