Identity of green plant reaction centers for quantum chemical determination of redox potentials of special pairs
Article Abstract:
Quantum chemical computations on the special pairs of chlorophyll-a molecules so as to resolve the ambiguity of the large oxidation redox potential of P680 and establish the identities of P680 and P700 by comparing the calculated potentials with the observed ones. INDO calculations show that the structure of P680 proposed by Svensson et al. from homology modeling successfully explains the abnormally large oxidation redox potential of this pigment.

Integrated kinetics for the production of glucose in plant cells and the effect of temperature
Article Abstract:
A temperature-dependent formulation of the integrated kinetics for the overall process of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells is prepared. The photochemical efficiency and glucose production rate versus temperature have agreed well with the experimental ones, thereby validating the formalism.

Theoretical determination of the standard reduction potential of plastocyanin in vitro
Article Abstract:
The reduction potential of plastocyanin was determined by using the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) method. The main objective was to determine the rate of electron transfers from cytochromef to plastocyanin and from plastocyanin to p700+.
