... conditionswere used as follows: 8.5, 7.4, and 6.8. The NaCl effects were carried out at concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and2.0 m. The solubility of O2in water depends strongly on NaCl concentration. ... approach isbased on determination of the bimolecular associationrate constant of O2rebinding and the quantum yield of BR, c. The latter value is defined as the ratio of thenumber of O2, which ... at four NaCl concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 m. The rate constant of BR andthe quantum yield of BR, in the presence of NaCl,gave a direct evidence of significant functional hetero-geneity...
