Light Energy for a Redox Reaction Suppose you have isolated a new photosynthetic microorgan- ism that oxidizes HS and passes the electrons to NAD*. What wavelength of light would provide enough energy for HS to reduce NAD* under standard conditions? Assume 100% efficiency in the photochemical event, and use E' of -243 mV for HS and -320 mV for NAD*. See Figure 19-46 for the energy equivalents of wavelengths of light.
