Abstract excerpt
In Photosystem I, the backbone nitrogen of Leu722(PsaA) forms a hydro-gen bond with the C(4) carbonyl oxygen of phylloquinone in the A(1A) site. A previous low-temperature EPR study indicated that substitution of Leu722(PsaA) with a bulky Trp residue results in a weakened H-bond. Here, we employ room temperature, time-resolved optical spectroscopy and variable temperature, transient EPR spectroscopy to probe the...
