| Abstract | Under physiological conditions (278 K) femtosecond pump-probe laser spectroscopy with 20-fs time resolution was applied to study primary charge separation in spinach photosystem II (PSII) core complexes excited at 710 nm. It was shown that initial formation of anion radical band of pheophytin molecule (Pheo $^{−}$ ) at 460 nm is observed with rise time of ~ 11 ps. The kinetics of the observed rise was ascribed to charge separation between Chl (chlorophyll a ) dimer, primary electron donor in PSII (P680*) and Pheo located in D1 protein subunit (Pheo $_{D1}$ ) absorbing at 420 nm, 545 nm and 680 nm with formation of the ion-radical pair P680 $^{+}$ Pheo $_{DI}^{−}$ . The subsequent electron transfer from Pheo $_{D1}^{−}$ to primary plastoquinone electron acceptor (Q $_{A}$ ) was accompanied by relaxation of the 460-nm band and occurred within ~ 250 ps in good agreement with previous measurements in Photosystem II-enriched particles and bacterial reaction centers. The subtraction of the P680 $^{+}$ spectrum measured at 455 ps delay from the spectra at 23 ps or 44 ps delay reveals the spectrum of Pheo $_{DI}^{−}$ , which is very similar to that measured earlier by accumulation method. The spectrum of Pheo $_{DI}^{−}$ formation includes a bleaching (or red shift) of the 670 nm band indicating that Chl-670 is close to Pheo $_{D1}$ . According to previous measurements in the femtosecond–picosecond time range this Chl-670 was ascribed to Chl $_{D1}$ [Shelaev, Gostev, Vishnev, Shkuropatov, Ptushenko, Mamedov, Sarkisov, Nadtochenko, Semenov and Shuvalov, J. Photochemistry and Photobiology, B: Biology 104 (2011) 45–50]. Stimulated emission at 685 nm was found to have two decaying components with time constants of ~ 1 ps and ~ 14 ps. These components appear to reflect formation of P680 $^{+}$ Chl $_{D1}^{−}$ and P680 $^{+}$ Pheo $_{D1}^{−}$ , respectively, as found earlier.

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.
