| Abstract | The effect of an increase in the viscosity of the medium on cyclic photophosphorylation in chloroplast thylakoids and the Ca$^{2+}$-dependent ATP hydrolysis by the chloroplast coupling factor CF$_{1}$ was studied. Using 0.1–0.2 mM ADP, it was found that the rate of ATP synthesis decreases after the addition of various agents that increase the viscosity of the medium (sucrose, dextran 40, or polyethylene glycol 6000) provided that these agents cause neither uncoupling nor electron-transport inhibition in the absence of ADP. Dextran and polyethylene glycol inhibited ATP synthesis by 50% when their concentrations were much lower (6–10%) than that of sucrose (30–40%), while 50% inhibition of the Ca$^{2+}$-dependent ATP hydrolysis by CF$_{1}$-ATPase was observed at higher concentrations of dextran and polyethylene glycol (9–13%) and lower concentrations of sucrose (about 20%). For ADP, the effective Michaelis constant (K $_{M}$) was shown to increase by factors of 2–3 with increasing viscosity, while the maximum rate of cyclic photophosphorylation remained virtually unchanged. The dependence of K $_{M}$ on the medium viscosity can serve as a criterion for the operation of diffusion-controlled photophosphorylation. Possible mechanisms of the diffusion of ADP and ATP are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
