RESUMO

The characteristic electron spin polarized electron paramagnetic resonance (ESP EPR) signal observed in photosystem I (PSI) has been previously assigned to a radical pair composed of the oxidized primary donor and a reduced vitamin K1. Under conditions in which Bottin, H. & Setif, P. [(1991), Biochim. Biophys. Acta 105, 331-336] proposed that A1 is doubly reduced, the ESP EPR signal was not observed. Therefore, the ESP EPR signal can be directly attributed to A-1, and vitamin K1 can be assigned as this PSI acceptor. The ESP EPR signal was partially restored by removal of the chemical reductants.
