Аннотация:Here we measured the long-term photovoltage (DV) generation by photosynthetic pigment-protein complex of photosystem I (PS I) from cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803directly. Prior to measurements PS I was immobilized onto a Millipore membrane filter (MF)and sandwiched between two semiconductor indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. The abilityof ITO|PS I-MF|ITO system to generate a stable DV over a 50 min period of irradiation bywhite light was detected in the presence of cytochrome c6, methyl viologen and disaccharide trehalose. Re-injection of a fresh buffer into ITO|PS I-MF|ITO preserves the immobilized PS I functionality after six months of storage at 23 C in the dark. Thedeveloped system represents a simple bio-hybrid solar converter to obtain voltage signals under long-term, periodic illumination. This approach can also be used to couple photoactive (light-driven enzymes) and catalytic modules to generate H2 under the steady-state conditions.
