Centre réactionnelLe centre réactionnel d'un photosystème est la partie dans laquelle se produit la réaction de séparation de charge d'une chlorophylle excitée. Les autres parties du photosystème participent à la collecte de l'énergie lumineuse sans que les chlorophylles qui y sont présentes ne réalisent la séparation de charge. La chlorophylle du centre réactionnel est spécifique : contrairement à celles de l'antenne collectrice, elle se désexcite de l'énergie que ces dernières lui ont apportée en libérant un électron, c’est-à-dire en s'oxydant.
Instruction set architectureIn computer science, an instruction set architecture (ISA), also called computer architecture, is an abstract model of a computer. A device that executes instructions described by that ISA, such as a central processing unit (CPU), is called an implementation. In general, an ISA defines the supported instructions, data types, registers, the hardware support for managing main memory, fundamental features (such as the memory consistency, addressing modes, virtual memory), and the input/output model of a family of implementations of the ISA.
Free-energy relationshipIn physical organic chemistry, a free-energy relationship or Gibbs energy relation relates the logarithm of a reaction rate constant or equilibrium constant for one series of chemical reactions with the logarithm of the rate or equilibrium constant for a related series of reactions. Free energy relationships establish the extent at which bond formation and breakage happen in the transition state of a reaction, and in combination with kinetic isotope experiments a reaction mechanism can be determined.
