The Effect of Light Intensity During Growth of Sinapis alba on the Electron-Transport and the Noncyclic Photophosphorylation
1975
The photosynthetic rate of Sinapis alba can be modified over a wide range by the light intensity during growth. Our present results indicate that there exist regulatory mechanisms in the field of photosynthetic primary reactions. We compared the effect of different light intensities during growth of Sinapis plants on the concentrations of soluble proteins, manganese and lipophilic plastid quinones, the electron flow from water to ferricyanide and noncyclic phosphorylation. We further determined the light dependence curves for the uncoupled electron transport with ferricyanide as electron acceptor and methylammonium-chloride as an uncoupler of photophosphorylation.
Polymere Charge-transfer-Komplexe auf der Basis von Polyvinylalkoholacetalen
1978
Poly[2-(1-naphthyl)-1,3-dioxan-4,6-diylmethylene] (3), poly[2-(2-naphthyl)-1,3-dioxan-4,6-diylmethylene] (5), 1-naphthalenecarbaldehydetrimethyleneacetal (7) and 2-naphthalenecarbaldehydetrimethyleneacetal (8) were synthesized and characterized by UV- and fluorescencespectroscopy. In addition triplet-triplet absorption maxima and triplet-lifetimes were determined by flash technique. The naphthalene derivates were found to act as donors in the charge-transfer complex formation with such electron acceptors as tetracyanoethylene, 2,5-cyclohexadien-1,4-diylidenedimalonodinitrile and 2,4,5,7-tetranitro-9-fluorenone. The equilibrium constants of the charge-transfer complexes were determined spect…
Ground and excited state properties of polyamine chains bearing two terminal naphthalene units
2002
A series of compounds bearing two naphthalene units linked through methylene groups to both ends of different open-chain polyamines has been investigated. The fluorescence emission studies show the presence of an excimer species whose formation depends on the protonation state and length of the polyamine chains and implies the existence of a bending movement in the excited state allowing the two naphthalene units to approach and interact. This interpretation was clearly proven by time-resolved fluorescence with the appearance of double exponential decays with a rise time observed at the excimer emission wavelength. For comparison purposes one bis-chromophoric compound containing a rigid cha…
Fluorescent chemosensors based on cyclohexane: selective sensing of succinate and malonate versus their longer or shorter homologues
2008
The sensing properties towards aliphatic α,ω-dicarboxylates of five cyclohexane-based ligands are described. The studied ligands have been designed following the binding site-signalling unit approach and they all possess thiourea groups as recognition moieties. Ligands 1 and 3 containing naphthalene units can be used as fluorescent sensors as they form intra- or intermolecular excimers in the presence of appropriate dicarboxylates. Selective sensing of succinate and malonate versus their longer or shorter homologues has been observed.

Acetylcholine At Motor Nerves: Storage, Release, and Presynaptic Modulati On By Autoreceptors and Adrenoceptors
1992
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the modulation of acetylcholine release from the motor endplate by presynaptic receptors. An individual neuron can regulate its function, the release of transmitters or modulators, through the activation of local feedback loops. After escaping the neuronal membrane and entering the synaptic cleft (or extracellular space), the transmitter activates both the receptors localized at the endorgan (postsynaptic receptors) and the receptors localized at the nerve terminal within its diffusion radius (so-called presynaptic or neuronal receptors). Stimulation of presynaptic receptors triggers the generation of intracellular signals that modify ion channels o…

Comparison of the Effects of Indole-3-Acetic Acid and Kinetin on the Photosynthetic Apparatus and on the Cell Metabolism
1984
External and internal factors can exert a regulatory influence on growth and differentiation within a reaction norm determined by the genetic material. As to the internal factors, the phytohormones intervene in the most development processes in a regulatory manner. In a number of publications it was pointed out that there is a far-reaching accordance between the effects caused by I.4A and the effects induced by red light and low light conditions (Zerbe, Wild, 1980 a; Holzapfel et al., 1982 a). Plants of Sinapis alba grown under low light conditions but additionally treated with kinetin show changes in their metabolism that are characteristic of plants grown at higher light intensities (Zerb…
Photochemical generation of benzene–naphthalene biplanemers
2005
Abstract A direct biplanemer synthesis could be achieved by a quantitative [4π+4π]photocycloaddition of benzyloxy substituted benzene and naphthalene rings ( 3d , e ⇄ 4d , e ). Since the products do not show a thermal Cope rearrangement—in contrast to the related longicyclic conjugated 9,10-benzotricyclo[4.2.2.2 2,5 ]dodeca-3,7,9-trienes—but a quantitative reverse reaction, they are interesting systems for an optical switching.
