UV/visible spectral properties of full-length Agp2 at different pH values.
A, spectra of dark-adapted form (Pfr). B, spectra after far-red irradiation showing a mixture of Pr and Pfr. C, calculated Pr spectra. D, absorption of Pfr and Pr at their respective maximum at different pH values. The Henderson-Hasselbalch (HH) fit to the Pr data yielded a pKa of 7.59. E, estimated fraction (f = Pfr/Ptot) of far-red-irradiated samples as shown in B. F, difference spectra of far-red-irradiated minus dark-adapted Agp2. G, absorbance change ratios from these difference spectra.
