Hydrogen Evolution by a Chloroplast-Ferredoxin-Hydrogenase System
Open accessAbstract
Spinach chloroplast preparations were mixed with Clostridium kluyveri hydrogenase and ferredoxin. Hydrogen evolution could be measured in the light in the absence of any added electron donors. Inhibition of the water-splitting reaction or of photosystem II reduced the amount of H 2 evolved more than 95%, indicating that H 2 O was the electron donor in this reaction. The rates of H 2 evolution observed were up to 20% of those measured in the presence of an oxygen-consuming reaction or of photosystem I electron donors. These findings indicate that hydrogen evolution from water and sunlight by photosynthetic processes could be a method for solar energy conversion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
