Sažetak
The steady state kinetic and thermodynamic properties of a »minimal« photosynthetic system containing two different proton
pumps in the planar artificial membrane have been considered.
The light activated proton pump, modelled after bacteriorhodopsin
(bR), and' the ATP-using proton pump, modelled after Neurospora
ATP-ase, were interacting only through the common photopotential
developed by bR. In the stationary state of the illuminated coupled system the following properties were calculated by Hill's diagram method: proton flux for each macromolecule, photopotential, total effective force, efficiency of free energy storage, efficiency of light free energy utilization, entropy production, and adenylate energy charge in the internal compartment.
