The re-reduction kinetics of chlorophyll .**GRAPHIC**. (P-680+) after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc., flash given to dark-adapted subchloroplasts [spinach] have been monitored at 824 nm in the nanosecond range. After the 1st flash and, again, after the 5th flash, the re-reduction of chlorophyll .**GRAPHIC**. (Chl .**GRAPHIC**. in the nanosecond range is nearly monophasic with t1/2 .apprxeq. 23 ns. After the 2nd and 3rd flash, the re-reduction is significantly slower and biphasic; it can be well-adapted with t1/2 .apprxeq. 50 ns and .apprxeq. 260 ns. After the 4th flash, the re-reduction kinetics of Chl .**GRAPHIC**. are intermediate between the 1st/5th and 2nd/3rd flash. A similar dependence on flash number was obtained with a sample of oxygen-evolving Photosystem II particles from Synechococcus sp. Considering the populations of the S-states of the O2-evolving complex before each flash, the following correlation of S-states to Chl .**GRAPHIC**. reduction kinetics and electron transfer times, respectively, is obtained: in stage S0 as well as in state S1 Chl .**GRAPHIC**. is reduced with t1/2 .apprxeq. 23 ns, whereas in state S2 as well as state S3 a biphasic reduction with t1/2 .apprxeq. 50 ns and .apprxeq. 260 ns (ratio of the amplitudes .apprxeq. 1:1) occurs. The observed multiphasic Chl .**GRAPHIC**. reduction under repetitive excitation is quantitatively explained by a superposition of the individual electron transfer times. The retardation of electron transfer to Chl .**GRAPHIC**. in states S2 and S3 as compared to S0 and S1 is probably caused by Coulomb attraction by 1 positive charge located in the O2-evolving complex. A positively charged O2-evolving complex in states S2 and S3 can be explained if the electron release pattern (1,1,1,1) is accompanied by a proton release pattern (1,0,1,2) for the transitions (S0 .fwdarw. S1, S1 .fwdarw. S2, S2 .fwdarw. S3, S3 .fwdarw. S0). A kinetic model based on linear electron transfer from the O2-evolving complex (S) to Chl .**GRAPHIC**. via 2 carriers, D1 and D2, makes a quantitative description of the experimental results possible. According to the kinetic model, the retardation of electron transfer to Chl .**GRAPHIC**. in states S2 and S3 is reflected by an increase in the change of standard free energy, .DELTA.G0, of the reaction Chl .**GRAPHIC**. D1D2S .**GRAPHIC**. Chl .alpha.IID1+D2S from .DELTA.G0 .apprxeq. -90 meV in states S0 and S1 to .DELTA.G0 .apprxeq. -20 meV in states S2 and S3. This increase by .apprxeq. 70 meV can be quantitatively explained by the Coulomb potential of the positive charge in the O2-evolving complex, estimated by using the point charge approximation.
