Abstract

We have studied the ³⁵Cl^- NMR line broadening in the presence of photosystem II (PS II) membranes from spinach in the dark. In the presence of NH₃ (which other work has shown to competitively inhibit chloride binding to PS II) we observed no decrease in ³⁵Cl^- linewidths. We conclude that binding of Cl^- to the O₂ evolving center in PS II in the dark (previously demonstrated by EPR) is in slow exchange on the NMR timescale. We assign the observed line broadening to interaction with non-specific binding sites and with free paramagnetics.
