Abstract
Stoichiometric amounts of chloroplast thylakoids photophosphorylate free AMP to tightly bound ADP. Free ADP is a poor competitor for this AMP photoreaction, which saturates below 16 micronAMP. The inhibitor, diadenosine pentaphosphate, abolishes AMP photophosphorylation, and inhibits dark ADP binding. Taken together, these data imply that this photoreaction involves the high affinity nucleotide binding site(s) of chloroplast coupling factor CF1, and that little mixing with free nucleotides occurs.
