Abstract excerpt
The primary electron donor in photosystem I (PSI), P700, is thought to be a dimeric Chl a species. Neither the electronic nor geometric structure of the cation radical is clearly understood. Magnetic resonance studies have indicated that the unpaired electron in P700+ is delocalized asymmetrically over the Chl dimer; however, the axial ligand to the central Mg2+ is not known. The recent development of a histidine...
