Abstract excerpt
D1-Thr179, which overlies the reaction center chlorophyll Chl D1 of Photosystem II was replaced with His and Glu through site-directed mutation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Spectroscopic characterization of the mutants indicates that, compared to wild type, the main bleaching in the triplet-minus-singlet absorbance difference spectrum and the electrochromic band shift in the (P680 (+)Q A (-)-P680Q A) absorbance...
