127:. Arnon studied the Hill reaction using a natural electron acceptor, NADP. He demonstrated the light-independent reaction, observing the reaction under dark conditions with an abundance of carbon dioxide. He found that carbon fixation was independent of light. Arnon effectively separated the light-dependent reaction, which produces ATP, NADPH, H and oxygen, from the light-independent reaction that produces sugars.

601:. The existence of these three components is important for maximal reductive and phosphorylative activity. Similar increases in the rate of ferricyanide reduction can be stimulated by a dilution technique. Dilution does not cause a further increase in the rate in which ferricyanide is reduced with the accumulation of ADP, phosphate, and Mg to a treated chloroplast suspension.
626:
It is possible to introduce an artificial electron acceptor into the light reaction, such as a dye that changes color when it is reduced. These are known as Hill reagents. These dyes permitted the finding of electron transport chains during photosynthesis. Dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP), an example

revealed that the effect was largely on the light-independent steps of the Hill reaction. These observations are explained in terms of a proposed method in which phosphate esterifies during electron transport reactions, reducing ferricyanide, while the rate of electron transport is limited by the

Hill also discovered Hill reagents, artificial electron acceptors that participate in the light reaction, such as
Dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP), a dye that changes color when reduced. These dyes permitted the finding of electron transport chains during photosynthesis.
