Abstract
In vascular plants, bryophytes and algae, the photosynthetic light reaction takes place in the thylakoid membrane where two transmembrane supercomplexes PSII and PSI work together with cytochrome b 6 f and ATP synthase to harvest the light energy and produce ATP and NADPH. Vascular plant PSI is a 600-kDa protein-pigment supercomplex, the core complex of which is partly surrounded by peripheral light-harvesting complex I (LHCI) that captures sunlight and transfers the excitation energy to the core to be used for charge separation. PSI is unique mainly in absorption of longer-wavelengths than PSII, fast excitation energy transfer including uphill energy transfer, and an extremely high quantum efficiency. From the early 1980s, a lot of effort has been dedicated to structural and functional studies of PSI-LHCI, leading to the current understanding of how more than 200 cofactors are kept at the correct distance and geometry to facilitate fast energy transfer in this supercomplex at an atomic level. In this review, we review the history of studies on vascular plant PSI-LHCI, summarise the present research progress on its structure, and present some new and further questions to be answered in future studies.

Abstract
The linear dichroism of Photosystem I particles containing 10 chlorophylls per P700 has been investigated at 10 K. The particles were oriented by uniaxial squeezing of polyacrylamide gels. The oxidation state of P700 was altered either by incubation of the gels with redox mediators or by low temperature illumination. The QY transitions of the primary electron donor P700, of the remaining unoxidized chlorophyll in P700(+) and of a chlorophyll molecule absorbing at 686 nm, which presumably corresponds to the primary electron acceptor A0, are all preferentially oriented perpendicular to the gel squeezing direction. The QY transition of the chlorophyll forms absorbing at 670 and 675 nm appear tilted at 40 ± 5° from this orientation axis. This orientation of the various chlorophylls is compared to that previously reported for more native Photosystem I particles.

Abstract
Fluorescence polarization of photosystem II particles treated with trypsin and incubated with high salt-medium (2M NaCl) was investigated. The presence of atrazine and TMPD in normal and salt-washed particles induced a decrease in the polarization ratios. Similar results were obtained at low concentrations of trypsin. On the basis of our observations we suggest that the presence of these perturbing agents causes a reorganisation of the membrane components and alters pigment-pigment and pigment-protein interactions. The results of fluorescence polarization demonstrate trypsin entry into the membrane after the digestion of the peripheral proteins.

Abstract
A complex between chlorophyll a and plastocyanin has been prepared by dialysis of mixtures of chlorophyll in Triton X-100 micellar solution with the protein. The complex appears to contain no more than one chlorophyll per plastocyanin molecule, and is non-fluorescent, whether the protein is in the oxidized or reduced state. The lack of fluorescence suggests that the chlorophyll is adsorbed very close to the Cu center.

Abstract
Isolated photosystem I (PSI)-110 particles, prepared using a minimal concentration of Triton X-100 [J. E. Mullet, J. J. Burke, and C. J. Arntzen (1980) Plant Physiol. 65, 814-822] and further subjected to short-term solubilization with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), were resolved into four pigment-containing bands on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). We have identified these in order of increasing electrophoretic mobility as being (a) CPIa, (b) CPI, (c) the light-harvesting complex of photosystem I (LHC-I), and (d) a free pigment-zone. LHC-I had an absorption maximum in the red at 668-669 nm and a shoulder at 650 nm, which was resolved by its first-derivative spectrum to indicate the presence of chlorophyll b. LHC-I exhibited a 77 degrees K fluorescence emission maximum at 729-730 nm. The 77 degrees K fluorescence emission maxima of CPIa and CPI, excised from the gel, were at 729 and 722 nm, respectively. The LHC-I band, excised from the gel and rerun on dissociating SDS-PAGE, was resolved into two polypeptide doublets of 24-22.5 and 21-20.5 kDa. The CPIa band under similar conditions was resolved into polypeptides of 68, 24, 22.5, 21, 20.5, 19, 15, and 14 kDa; on the contrary, CPI contained only the 68-kDa polypeptide. When intact thylakoids were subjected to "nondenaturing" SDS-PAGE, LHC-I comigrated with an oligomeric form (dimer) of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b pigment-protein that preferentially serves photosystem II (LHCP-II). When this combined LHC-I/LHCP-II pigment-protein band was prepared by SDS-PAGE from isolated stroma lamellae, it exhibited a long-wavelength fluorescence band near 730 nm at 77 degrees K. When a similar preparation was obtained from sucrose density gradients containing SDS [J. Argyroudi-Akoyunoglou and H. Thomou (1981) FEBS Lett. 135, 171-181], it was found to be enriched in a 21-kDa polypeptide. The data suggest that the 21-kDa polypeptide of LHC-I is the chlorophyll-containing polypeptide responsible for the long-wavelength fluorescence of LHC-I; other polypeptides in the complex (20.5, 22.5, and 24 kDa) presumably bind chlorophyll and also serve an antennae function.

Abstract
(1) In photosystem I (PS I) particles in the presence of dithionite and intense background illumination at 290 K, an external magnetic field (0-0.22 T) induced an increase, delta F, of the low chlorophyll a emission yield, F (delta F/F approximately or equal to 1-1.5%). Half the effect was obtained at about 35-60 mT and saturation occurred for magnetic fields higher than about 0.15 T. In the absence of dithionite, no field-induced increase was observed. Cooling to 77 K decreased delta F at 685 nm, but not at 735 nm, to zero. Measuring the emission spectra of F and delta F, using continuous excitation light, at 82, 167 and 278 K indicated that the spectra of F and delta F have about the same maximum at about 730, 725 and 700 nm, respectively. However, the spectra of delta F show more long-wavelength emission than the corresponding spectra of F. (2) Only in the presence of dithionite and with (or after) background illumination, was a luminescence (delayed fluorescence) component observed at 735 nm, ater a 15 ns laser flash (530 nm), that decayed in about 0.1 microseconds at room temperature and in approx. 0.2 microseconds at 77 K. A magnetic field of 0.22 T caused an appreciable increase in luminescence intensity after 250 ns, probably mainly caused by an increase in decay time. The emission spectra of the magnetic field-induced increase of luminescence, delta L, at 82, 167 and 278 K coincided within experimental error with those of delta F mentioned above. The temperature dependence of delta F and delta L was found to be nearly the same, both at 685 and at 735 nm. (3) Analogously to the proposal concerning the 0.15 microseconds luminescence in photosystem II (Sonneveld, A., Duysens, L.N.M. and Moerdijk, A. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77, 5889-5893), we propose that recombination of the oxidized primary donor P-700+ and the reduced acceptor A-, probably A-1, of PS I causes the observed fast luminescence. The effect of an external magnetic field on this emission may be explained by the radical pair mechanism. The field-induced increase of the 0.1-0.2 microseconds luminescence seems to be at least in large part responsible for the observed increase of the total (prompt + delayed) emission measured during continuous illumination in the presence of a magnetic field.

Abstract
Of the six chlorophyll-protein complexes of spinach and barley resolved by mild gel electrophoresis, two were chlorophyll a-protein complexes of PS I, namely CP1a and CP1, which accounted for up to 30% of the total chlorophyll. Both of these complexes had one P-700 per 120 chlorophyll a molecules. Since spinach and barley thylakoids have some 400 chlorophyll molecules per P-700, these complexes may not have lost any of the chlorophyll associated with them in vivo. This may account for CP1a and CP1 having the characteristic low-temperature fluorescence normally associated with PS I in vivo, which is not found in complexes with low chlorophyll/P-700 ratios. Two-dimensional electrophoresis showed that all of the chlorophyll a and P-700 of CP1 was bound to 70 kilodalton polypeptides. The PS I reaction centre complex of lowest mobility, CP1a, contained CP1 and four additional low molecular weight polypeptides. The three light-harvesting complexes resolved had major 25 and 23 kilodalton polypeptides. The presumed reaction centre complex of PS II contained major 50 and 47 kilodalton polypeptides.

Abstract
Radiative and nonradiative processes were investigated in subchloroplast particles highly enriched in P-700 (1 P-700 to 10 chlorophyll molecules) according to the method of classical fluorescence and of photoacoustical spectroscopy. The envelope of fluorescence spectrum divided into three Gaussian bands and their quantum yields of fluorescence were calculated. Indpendently the quantum yield of fluorescence was determined from the spectral course of the photoacoustical signal. Finally, the estimate of the photochemical activity of P-700, based upon the measured fluorescence quantum yield and upon the measured nonradiative losses of excitation energy, was done.

Abstract
A study was made of the chlorophyll fluorescence spectra between 100 and 4.2 K of chloroplasts of various species of higher plants (wild strains and chlorophyll b mutants) and of subchloroplast particles enriched in Photosystem I or II. The chloroplast spectra showed the well known emission bands at about 685, 695 and 715--740 nm; the System I and II particles showed bands at about 675, 695 and 720 nm and near 685 nm, respectively. The effect of temperature lowering was similar for chloroplasts and subchloroplast particles; for the long wave bands an increase in intensity occurred mainly between 100 and 50 K, whereas the bands near 685 nm showed a considerable increase in the region of 50--4.2 K. In addition to this we observed an emission band near 680 nm in chloroplasts, the amplitude of which was less dependent on temperature. The band was missing in barley mutant no. 2, which lacks the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex. At 4.7 K the spectra of the variable fluorescence (Fv) consisted mainly of the emission bands near 685 and 695 nm, and showed only little far-red emission and no contribution of the band at 680 nm. From these and other data it is concluded that the emission at 680 nm is due to the light-harvesting complex, and that the bands at 685 and 695 nm are emitted by the System II pigment-protein complex. At 4.2 K, energy transfer from System II to the light-harvesting complex is blocked, but not from the light-harvesting to the System I and System II complexes. The fluorescence yield of the chlorophyll species emitting at 685 nm appears to be directly modulated by the trapping state of the reaction center.

Abstract
To the extent that extracted light-harvesting chlorophyll proteins (LHCPs) retain the chlorophyll configuration which they had in vivo, information on the optical properties of LHCPs is useful for an assessment of the transfer process of the primary excitation energy in photosynthesis. Within this context we report and discuss the implication of three kinds of data on spinach chloroplast LHCP. First, an analysis of the spectroscopic dependence of absorption, polarization and circular dichroism (reported recently by R.L.V.) suggests a model affording the possibility of easy chlorophyll a intercomplex transfer with chlorophyll b groups acting as local antitraps. Second, the ratio of LHCP emission and absorption probabilities obeys the Stepanov relation over a relatively wide range, an observation which suggests rapid Chl b-Chl a excitation equilibration. Finally, an LHCP absolute fluorescence yield as great as 10% has been measured, which provides a possible upper limit for the yield of the antenna fluorescence.

Abstract
Photoselection experiments with immobilized photosystem I particles have been done to determine the mutual orientation of pigments in the reaction centre. When these particles are excited and interrogated with linearly polarized light, the flash-induced transient absorption changes (mainly from the chlorophyll a dimer) reveal linear dichroism, which yields information on the mutual orientation between the excited and the interrogated transition moments. The interpretation of the data, however, is ambiguous, (1) for reasons of principles inherent in the photoselection technique when applied to complex systems and (2) because of incomplete knowledge about the relative contribution of x- and of y-polarized transitions of chlorophyll a to absorption or to absorption changes at a given wavelength. We find it impossible to attribute any particular structure to the photooxidizable dimer based on photoselection data alone. Instead we present a field of possible structures, imposing constraints on proposed models for the dimer structure.
