Surfactant properties in photosynthesis
Release Date:2016-5-18 Source:xiashundong Views:1534
Surfactants in photosynthesis research was applied more widely, photosystem biofilm (ie photosynthetic membranes) in a variety of pigment - protein complexes separation, extraction and purification, and crystallization of proteins often use surfactants. We can say that it is the successful application of a variety of surfactants to make thorough studies of photosynthetic membranes at the molecular level up to now, so we have the photosynthetic system in a variety of physiological functions and structures have a better understanding. Now, with a variety of surfactants solubilizing photosynthetic membrane structure and function research component has become a routine technique. However, in many studies, the application of surfactants are generally empirical. Because of the separation, purification process of surfactants on the photosynthetic membrane of pigment - protein complexes, the role and influence of composite pigment and protein lack of understanding of different types and nature of not only the isolated compound, and according to the results of the separation is difficult to understand the real situation of the living body, it affects the accuracy of interpretation and structural model of the established results, so in-depth study of the influence of surface active agent is necessary.

   In addition, the surfactant and photosynthetic membrane lipid membrane also have similar structural characteristics that are all amphiphilic molecules, therefore, the role of Surfactant also contribute knowledge and understanding of the photosynthetic membrane lipids and membrane pigments, proteins between each other effect.
