Abstract excerpt
The cytochrome bf complex, which links electron transfer from photosystem II to photosystem I in oxygenic photosynthesis, has not been amenable to site-directed mutagenesis in cyanobacteria. Using the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, we have successfully modified the cytochrome b(6) subunit of the cytochrome bf complex. Single amino acid substitutions in cytochrome b(6) at the positions D148, A154, and...
