Temporal profile of the singlet oxygen emission endogenously produced by photosystem II reaction centre in an aqueous buffer.

The temporal profile of the phosphorescence of singlet oxygen endogenously photosensitized by photosystem II (PSII) reaction centre (RC) in an aqueous buffer has been recorded using laser excitation and a near infrared photomultiplier tube. A weak emission signal was discernible, and could be fitted...
