Introduction
No full textOrphism, way of life, dietetics and medicine, music, number and harmony, late refractions of Pythagorean beliefs and tenets – these issues can by no means be separated from each other. On the contrary, they are vitally interconnected. Most of the contributions to this volume show quite clearly the interrelationships of all of these topics. Indeed, the present collection aims to enhance the study of the many links, transfers, have emerged throughout history, from Archaic Greece to Early Modern times

Reinventing the Pythagorean Tradition in Pseudo-Justin’s Cohortatio ad Graecos
No full textIn the Cohortatio ad Graecos, a work included in Justin Maryr’s corpus and recently attributed to the Monarchian Bishop Marcellus of Ancyra (cf. C. Riedweg, B. Pouderon), there is a passage dedicated to Pythagoras (cf. 19). Such a reference is part of a string of quotations from pagan authors on the subject of the so-called monotheism. Having already proved the antiquity and excellence of Moses, the first prophet (9-12), and presented the story of the Septuagint translation (13), Ps.-Justin meks further remarks about Greeks having become acquainted with the writings of Moses in Egypt and therefore expressing ‘monotheistic’ views (14). Other authorities quoted are Orpheus (15), Sibyl (16), Homer (17), Sophocles (18), and Plato (20), after which the work progresses as a more detailed attempt to show the dependance of Plato and Homer on the Hebrew Scriptures. In this paper, I aim to explore the Cohortatio account on Pythagoras in its connection with the other authorities quoted in the text, in order to stress the cultural work carried out by Ps.-Justin/Marcellus about the Greek Philosopher and the ideological elements ascribed to him in the treatise. In keeping with his general intention of bringing forward Greek expressions of monotheism, the subject Ps.-Justin announces for Pythagoras is monás (19,1,5), drawing a sort of parallel with the religion of Orpheus (Orpheus is explicitly said to have visited Egypt). The conclusion one can reach is that the monotheism attributed to Pythagoras is a cultural construct, strictly connected with Orpheus, and that the author of Cohortatio aims to defend the so-called Monarchianism, around the period of Arian crisis. My main objective is to emphasize how the (re-)invention of a Pythagorean monotheism and/or religion constitutes a Christian apologetic discourse strictly linked with the invention of an Orphic monotheism, two cultural constructs carried out in the period of the Nicaea Council (325 CE), a seminal phase in the formation of Christian monotheism
Coupling to Charge Transfer States is the Key to Modulate the Optical Bands for Efficient Light Harvesting in Purple Bacteria
No full textThe photosynthetic apparatus of purple bacteria uses exciton delocalization and static disorder to modulate the position and broadening of its absorption bands, leading to efficient light harvesting. Its main antenna complex, LH2, contains two rings of identical bacteriochlorophyll pigments, B800 and B850, absorbing at 800 and 850 nm, respectively. It has been an unsolved problem why static disorder of the strongly coupled B850 ring is several times larger than that of the B800 ring. Here we show that mixing between excitons and charge transfer states in the B850 ring is responsible for the effect. The linear absorption spectrum of the LH2 system is simulated by using a multiscale approach with an exciton Hamiltonian generalized to include the charge transfer states that involve adjacent pigment pairs, with static disorder modeled microscopically by molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show that sufficient inhomogeneous broadening of the B850 band, needed for efficient light harvesting, is only obtained by utilizing static disorder in the coupling between local excited and interpigment charge transfer states
STRUCTURAL-CHANGES IN THE WATER-OXIDIZING COMPLEX MONITORED VIA THE PH-DEPENDENCE OF THE REDUCTION RATE OF REDOX STATE S-1 BY HYDRAZINE AND HYDROXYLAMINE IN ISOLATED SPINACH THYLAKOIDS
No full textA detailed kinetic analysis is presented for the pH dependence of the reduction of the water-oxidizing complex (WOC) in redox state S-1 by hydrophilic amines NH(2)R (R = NH2, OH) in suspensions of isolated thylakoids. Measurements of patterns of the oxygen yield induced by a train of single-turnover flashes and evaluation of the data within the framework of an extended Kok model [Messinger, J., Wacker, U., and Renger, G. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 7852-7862] led to the following results: (a) the rate constants k(s1)(NH(2)R) exhibit strikingly similar pH dependencies for NH2OH and NH2NH2 with ''titration waves'' at pH 5.3-5.6; 6.2-6.5, and above a critical pH value of about 7.4; (b) the differences in the reaction mechanism between NH2OH (1-electron reduction) and NH2NH2 (2-electron reduction) are almost pH-independent; (c) the ratio of the rate constants, k(s1)(NH2OH)/k(s1)(NH2NH2), decreases by a factor of about 9 within the range 5 < pH < 8.5. A detailed analysis reveals that these data cannot be consistently explained by the assumption that the unprotonated forms NH2OH and NH2NH2 are the active species while the protonated cations [NH3OH](+) and [N2H5](+) are nonreactive. A quantitative description is achieved by the additional postulate that pH-dependent structural changes take place in the WOC, thereby modulating the reactivity toward exogenous redox active amines of the type NH(2)R. On the basis of the results of this study and a recent report [Messinger, J., and Renger, G. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 10896-10905], it is inferred that the WOC undergoes three specific structural changes, with characteristic pH values of 5.3-5.5,6.2-6.5, and above 7.4.</p

The Ability of Cyanobacterial Cells to Restore UV-B Radiation Induced Damage to Photosystem II is Influenced by Photolyase Dependent DNA Repair
No full textDamage of DNA and Photosystem-II are among the most significant effects of UV-B irradiation in photosynthetic organisms. Both damaged DNA and Photosystem-II can be repaired, which represent important defense mechanisms against detrimental UV-B effects. Correlation of Photosystem-II damage and repair with the concurrent DNA damage and repair was investigated in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803 using its wild type and a photolyase deficient mutant, which is unable to repair UV-B induced DNA damages. A significant amount of damaged DNA accumulated during UV-B exposure in the photolyase mutant concomitant with decreased Photosystem-II activity and D1 protein amount. The transcript level of psbA3, which is a UV-responsive copy of the psbA gene family encoding the D1 subunit of the Photosystem-II reaction center, is also decreased in the photolyase mutant. The wild-type cells, however, did not accumulate damaged DNA during UV-B exposure, suffered smaller losses of Photosystem-II activity and D1 protein, and maintained higher level of psbA3 transcripts than the photolyase mutant. It is concluded that the repair capacity of Photosystem-II depends on the ability of cells to repair UV-B-damaged DNA through maintaining the transcription of genes, which are essential for protein synthesis-dependent repair of the Photosystem-II reaction center
