Abstract

Photosensitization via the singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) mechanism by the binuclear iron-sulfur center, denoted as [2Fe-2S], was investigated, using a highly purified ferredoxin (Fd) preparation from spinach leaves. Since the apoprotein of Fd contains a good number of amino acid residues that are readily reactive with $^1O_2$ and thus interfere with the detection of $^1O_2$ generated from [2Fe-2S], we attempted to deprive the $^1O_2$-sensitive residues of their $^1O_2$-scavenging capacity as much as possible by treating Fd with rose bengal plus 550 nm monochromatic light and thereby photooxidatively degrading these residues. The photochemically modified Fd was found to keep the structural integrity of its Fe-S group virtually unaffected by the treatment. By employing chemical trap method for measurement and examining the kinetic effects of azide and deuterium oxide on the reactions of $^1O_2$ with various trap compounds, we were able to demonstrate that [2Fe-2S] indeed acts as a photosensitizer via $^1O_2$. Further, the minimum quantum yield of $^1O_2$ production by [2Fe-2S] was estimated to be 0.0047.
