摘要
The effect of glycinebetaine, a nontoxic osmolite of halophilic plants, on the photosynthetic oxygen evolution was investigated with Photosystem II (PS II) particles prepared from spinach thylakoids and another type of PS II particles (dPS II particles) that had been depleted of the 18 kDa and the 23 kDa extrinsic proteins. Betaine protected PS II particles from the inactivation of oxygen evolution by high concentrations of NaCl, in which the chaotropic effect of Cl- dissociated the 18 kDa and 23 kDa extrinsic proteins from the oxygen-evolving PS II complex. However, it failed to protect dPS II particles, in which the inactivation of oxygen evolution was caused by the effect of Na+ ions.
