Chapter 19
Part 3
Photophosphorylation
Learning Goals: To Know
1. How energy of sunlight creates charge separation in the
photosynthetic reaction complex and exciton transfer.
2. How electron transport is accompanied by the directional
transport of protons across the membrane against their
concentration gradient
3. Similarities and differences between plant-algal
photosystems and bacterial photosystems.
4. How the electrochemical proton gradient drives synthesis
of ATP by coupling the flow of protons via ATP synthase to
conformational changes that favor formation of ATP in the
active site
5. Roles of rhodopsins.

How do Photosynthetic Bacteria Fit in Here?
Hill Reaction (driven by light) in Photophosphorylation
2 H2 O + 2 A
 2 AH2 + O2
“A” in Biological Systems = NADP+ so the Hill
Reaction is:
2 H2O + 2 NADP+  2 NADPH + 2H+ + O2
What Robert Hill in 1937 Actually Measured Was:
The reduction of DCIP: going from blue to colorless.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
What is an Einstein?
Light Energy
Planck-Einstein Equation:
E=hν
E = energy of a photon
h = Planck’s Constant = 6.6 x 10-34 J.s
v = vibration frequency ( of the wavelength of light; vibrational
frequency increases with a decrease in
wavelength )
In the text,
E = hc/λ
So that one red photon
c/λ = v
so red light, λ = 700 nm, c = 3x108m/s
E = 2.83 x 10-19 J
For an Einstein (a mole of photons) E = 168 kJ/einstein

Bacterial Rhodopsin – Becoming Ubiquitous
Rhodopsin Proton Transfer: Cis -Trans Conformational
Change
Rhodopsins Are Becoming Recognized as Common
There are 3 Classes of Rhodopsins:
1. Proton Pumping (previous example) – Halophilic
Archaea.
2. Signal Transduction – Vision and Light/Dark
Adaptions.
3. Chloride Pumping.
They occur in Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya - All Domains
of Life
