Abstract excerpt
The chlorophyll-binding protein CP43 is an inner subunit of the Photosystem II (PSII) reaction center core complex of all oxygenic photoautotrophs. X-Ray structural evidence places the guanidinium cation of the conserved arginine 357 residue of CP43 within a few Angstroms to the Mn(4)Ca cluster of the water-oxidizing complex (WOC) and has been implicated as a possible carbonate binding site. To test the...
