Abstract
The inactivation temperature for Hill activity and for the long-lived delayed fluorescence of isolated Pisum sativum L. chloroplasts was found to depend on pH, the maximal value being in the pH region 5-7. Salts increase the inactivation temperature by 4-7°C. Effects of D2O and some other substances that modify the thermostability of chloroplasts are dependent on pH. It is concluded that thermal denaturation of proteins is the most probable mechanism for heat inactivation of chloroplasts.Entities:
