Abstract excerpt
The oxygen-evolving manganese cluster (OEC) of photosynthesis is oxidised by the photochemically generated primary oxidant (P(+*)(680)) of photosystem II via a tyrosine residue (Y(Z), Tyr161 on the D1 subunit of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803). The redox span between these components is rather small and probably tuned by protonic equilibria. The very efficient electron transfer from Y(Z) to P(+*)(680) in nanoseconds...
