Siderin
Siderin is a selective Photosystem II (PSII) inhibitor. Siderin inhibits ATP synthesis by blocking electron transport at the donor and acceptor sides of PSII Siderin can be used in the study of plant photosynthesis.

Biological Activity
Siderin potently inhibits ATP synthesis in freshly lysed spinach thylakoids with an IC50 of 27.0 μM[1].
Siderin (100-400 μM; 1 min) acts as a Hill reaction inhibitor by inhibiting basal, phosphorylating, and uncoupled electron transport in freshly lysed spinach thylakoids[1].
Siderin (50-400 μM) inhibits PSII electron transport at both the donor (water-splitting enzyme complex) and acceptor (P680 to Qa) sides in freshly lysed spinach thylakoids[1].
Siderin (400-1000 μM; 5 min) transforms active QA-reducing PSII reaction centers into silent heat sink centers in dark-adapted freshly lysed Spinacia oleracea thylakoids[1].
