The coupled photocycle of phenyl-p-benzoquinone and Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) within the biohybrid system
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS(2022)
摘要
The combination of trimeric form of the light-harvesting complex II (LHCII 3 ), a porous graphite electrode (GE), and the application of phenyl-p-benzoquinone (PPBQ), the quinone derivative, allow the construction of a new type of biohybrid photoactive system. The Chl fluorescence decay and voltammetric analyzes revealed that PPBQ impacts LHCII 3 proportionally to accessible quenching sites and that PPBQ forms redox complexes with Chl in both ground and excited states. As a result, photocurrent generation is directly dependent on PPBQ-induced quenching of Chl fluorescence. Since PPBQ also undergoes photoactivation, the action of GE-LHCII 3 -PPBQ depends on the mutual coupling of LHCII 3 and PPBQ photocycles. The GE-LHCII 3 -PPBQ generates a photocurrent of up to 4.5 µA and exhibits considerable stability during operation. The three-dimensional arrangement of graphite scraps in GE builds an active electrode surface and stabilizes LHCII 3 in its native form in low-density multilayers. The results indicate the future usability of such designed photoactive device.
