Abstract excerpt
In Photosystem II electrons from water splitting pass through a primary quinone electron acceptor (QA) to the secondary plastoquinone (QB). The D2 protein forms the QA-binding site and the D1 protein forms the QB-binding site. A non-heme iron sits between QA and QB resulting in a quinone-Fe-acceptor complex that must be activated before assembly of the oxygen-evolving complex can occur. An extended loop (residues...
