Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Photoinduced electron transfer between zinc protoporphyrin reconstituted myoglobin (Zn-Mb) and NADP+ functions as a model of photosystem I by forming NADPH. The reduction efficiency of NADP+ depended strongly on the solution pH, which was explained by the difference in the redox potential and/or the static interaction between Zn-Mb and a sacrificial donor triethanolamine (TEA).</jats:p>
