photophosphorylation = Light-dependent reaction?[edit]

For some reason, the photophosphorylation article is re-directed into Light-dependent reaction article. The two, in my opinion are not the same and therefore shouldn't be linked. The former is more tightly related to plants, while the later can in fact be applied even to photovoltaic cells (solar cells)

It would be a good idea to expand the Light-dependent reaction article to include non-biological examples of this, but keep the redirect (as otherwise it would just be duplication of content). Or perhaps it would be better to turn the light-dependent reaction page into a disambiguation page. Thoughts? Talrias 10:35, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)

Photovoltaic cells do not phosphorylate anything. There's more to the light reactions than photophosphorylation, but the redirect seems appropriate to me. dsws 02:27, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is NADPH considered as stored energy?[edit]

Just wondering , because all the sources I found so far states that it is just a reducing agent (but it did not say it's not an energy store). But isn't it also chemical energy then?

---NADPH is also an energy storing molecule, yes.

Step 7[edit]

curious as to why it says "SENS RULE!!" after number 7 in the steps section... it could be vandalism considering i've never heard of any such thing and i doubt it has anything to do with the calvin-benson cycle.Annie 02:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--- it was vandalism, so i removed it.

Cyclic photophosphorylation[edit]

I think this discription contains a mistake stating: "passes from the primary acceptor to ferredoxin, then to a complex of two cytochromes (similar to those found in mitochondria), and then to plastoquinone before returning to chlorophyll". It is supposed to be plastocyanin that carries the electrons back to the PS1, isn't it?

jeah, you are totally right. Ferredoxin can't gives electons to cytochrome b6f. I fixed it. (Kasper90 (talk) 01:03, 4 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Light-dependent reaction/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I think this is a really bad article.

It's just a mess. Because, the most information that you can find in photophosphorylation, should be here. Photophosphorylation is only about creating ATP. While the light reactions are about every single reactions that happens in the thylakoid. The dutch article is even better than the english article. So, this article should be improved.
