The secondary electron donor, TyrZ, is implicated in tuning the primary charge separation and the water oxidation in active pho-tosystem II (PSII). Two types of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the function of...
kD protein, located on the lumen side of thylakoid membranes, is one of three extrinsic proteins of photosystemⅡ(PSⅡ). Previous study showed that NBS modification of W241, the only tryptophan in 33 kD protein, is he...
