Optical absorbance and fluorescence properties of sucrose gradient
fractions obtained from MS (A and C) and BS (B and
D) thylakoids. Spectra corresponding to F1 (LHCs), F2 (PSI/PSII),
and F3 (LHCI·PSI) fractions are presented as dashed,
solid, and dotted-dashed lines, respectively.
A and B, room temperature (RT) absorbance spectra.
C and D, fluorescence spectra were recorded at 77 K using
excitation at 435 nm. Peaks have been normalized to aid their comparison.
