To fully understand how these two different types of photosystems generate their extreme redox potentials and thereby catalyze the fundamental reactions of photosynthesis is a major challenge in ...

Here we describe the first 3D structure of the photosystem II (PSII ... intrinsic membrane subunits of the photochemical reaction center core. The model suggests that the 33 kDa OEC protein ...

Photosystem II (PSII), a protein complex ... the structural dynamics of PSII during the water-splitting reaction, especially at the atomic level and on short timescales, remain largely unexplored.

In higher plants and green algae, Photosystem II (PSII ... PsbR (PSII 10 kDa polypeptide R) and PsbY (PSII reaction center protein Y), which are located in the central region of the megacomplex ...
