EffectofNano-anataseTiO2onSpectralCharacterizationofPhotosystemⅡParticlesfromSpinach

The photosystem Ⅱ（PSⅡ） particles were purified by means of nano-anatase TiO2 treatment of spinach and studied by spectroscopy. The results show that the electron transport and the oxygen-evolving rate of PSⅡ are accelerated after it has been treated with nano-anatase TiO2; the UV-Vis absorption spectrum of PSⅡ particles is increased; the red shift of fluorescence emission peak of PSⅡ is 2 nm; the peak intensity is decreased; the PSⅡ signal Ⅱs of low temperature electron paramagnetic resonanace（EPR） spectrum is intensified under light, and the PSⅡ circular dichroism（CD） spectrum is similar to that of control. It is suggested that nano-anatase TiO2 might bind to the PSⅡ reaction center complex and intensify the function of the PSⅡ electron donor, however, nano-anatase TiO2 treatment does not change the configuration of the PSⅡ reaction center complex.
