Abstract excerpt
The currently accepted model for the location of the redox-active tyrosines, D and Z, in photosystem II suggests that they are symmetrically located on the D1 and D2 polypeptides, which are believed to form the heterodimer core of the reaction center. Z, the electron conduit from the manganese catalytic site to the primary chlorophyll donor, has been identified with tyrosine-161 of D1. The YF161D1 mutant of...
