Abstract excerpt
Photosystem II (PSII) is the water-plastoquinone photo-oxidoreductase central to oxygenic photosynthesis. PSII has been extensively studied for its ability to catalyze light-driven water oxidation at a Mn4CaO5 cluster called the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC). Despite these efforts, the complete reaction mechanism for water oxidation by PSII is still heavily debated. Previous mutagenesis studies have investigated...
