Thylakoids isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) bind only a small fraction of neutral red in the dark whereas they accumulate large amounts of the protonated dye in their inner space under light. Light-induced neutral red uptake depends on the size of the proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane but does not follow the mechanism established for amines. Instead, the correlation between pH gradient and neutral red uptake can be predicted quantitatively assuming that protonated neutral red is accumulated mainly as dimer species. Under appropriate conditions, accumulation of protonated neutral red in the inner thylakoid space is proportional to an absorbance increase at 520 nm. This 520-nm change can be used for the continuous measurement of pH changes in thylakoids during steady-state illumination.
