Abstract excerpt
The residue D1-D170 bridges Mn4 with the Ca ion in the O2-evolving Mn4CaO5 cluster of Photosystem II. Recently, the D1-D170E mutation was shown to substantially alter the Sn+1-minus-Sn FTIR difference spectra [Debus RJ (2021) Biochemistry 60:3841-3855]. The mutation was proposed to alter the equilibrium between different Jahn-Teller conformers of the S1 state such that (i) a different S1 state conformer is...
