1. The kinetics of cytochromebreduction and oxidation in the ubiquinone-cytochrome b/c2oxidoreductase of chromatophores fromRhodopseudomonas sphaeroidesGa have been measured both in the presence and absence of anti-mycin, after subtraction of contributions due to absorption changes from cytochromec2, the oxidized bacteriochlorophyll dimer of the reaction center, and a red shift of the antenna bacteriochlorophyll.2. A small red shift of the antenna bacteriochlorophyll band centered at 589 nm has been identified and found to be kinetically similar to the carotenoid bandshift.3. Antimycin inhibits the oxidation of ferrocytochromebunder all conditions; it also stimulates the amount of single flash activated cytochromebreduction 3- to 4-fold under certain if not all conditions.4. A maximum of approximately 0.6 cytochromeb-560 (Em(7)= 50 mV,n= 1, previously cytochromeb50) hemes per reaction center are reduced following activating flashes. This ratio suggests that there is one cytochromeb-560 heme functional per ubiquinone-cytochrome b/c2oxidoreductase.5. Under the experimental conditions used here, only cytochromeb-560 is observed functional in cyclic electron transfer.6. We describe the existence of three distinct states of reduction of the ubiquinone-cytochrome b/c2oxidoreductase which can be established before activation, and result in markedly different reaction sequences involving cytochromebafter the flash activation. Poising such that the special ubiquinone (Qz) is reduced and cytochromeb-560 is oxidized yields the conditions for optimal flash activated electron transfer rates through the ubiquinone-cytochrome b/c2oxidoreductase. However when the ambient redox state is lowered to reduce cytochromeb-560 or raised to oxidize Qz, single turnover flash induced electron transfer through the ubiquinone-cytochrome b/c2oxidoreductase appears impeded; the points of the impediment are tentatively identified with the electron transfer step from the reduced secondary quinone (QII) of the reaction center to ferricytochromeb-560 and from the ferrocytochromeb-560 to oxidized Qz, respectively.
