Chlorophyll (Chl) d is a major chlorophyll in a novel oxygenic prokaryote Acaryochloris marina. Here we first report the redox potential of Chl d in vitro. The oxidation potential of Chl d was +0.88 V vs. SHE in acetonitrile; the value was higher than that of Chl a (+0.81 V) and lower than that of Chl b (+0.94 V). The oxidation potential order, Chl 1) > Chl d > Chl a, can be explained by inductive effect of substituent groups on the conjugated pi-electron system on the macrocycle. Corresponding pheophytins showed the same order; Phe b (+1.25 V) > Phe d (+1.21 V) > Phe a (+1. 14 V), but the values were significantly higher than those of Chls, which are rationalized in terms of an electron density decrease in the pi-system by the replacement of magnesium with more electronegative hydrogen. Consequently, oxidation potential of Chl a was found to be the lowest among ChIs and Phes. The results will help us to broaden our views on pbotosystems in A. marina.
