Reduction of the oxidized bacteriochlorophyll dimer in reaction centers by ferrocene is dependent upon the driving force
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The rates of electron transfer from ferrocene to the oxidized bacteriochlorophyll dimer, P , in reaction centers from the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, were measured for a series of mutants in which the P / P + midpoint potentials range from 410 to 765 mV (Lin et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1994; 91: 10265-10269). The observed rate constant for each mutant was found to be linearly dependent upon the ferrocene concentration up to 50 μM. The electron transfer is described as a second order reaction with rate constants increasing from 1.5 to 35 × 106 M -1. s -1 with increasing P / P + midpoint potential. This dependence was tested for three additional mutants, each of which exhibits a pH dependence of the P / P + midpoint potential due to an electrostatic interaction with an introduced carboxylic group (Williams et al. Biochemistry 2001; 40: 15403-15407). For these mutants, the pH dependence of the bimolecular rate constants followed a sigmoidal pattern that could be described with a Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, attributable to the change of the free energy difference for the reaction due to deprotonation of the introduced carboxylic side chains.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
