摘要
The input of solar energy into photosynthesis, and thence into the biosphere, occurs via chlorophyll-containing proteins known as reaction centres. There are two kinds of reaction centre in oxygenic photosynthesis: photosystem I(PSI)and photosystem II(PSII). The PSII reaction centre, alias the oxygen-evolving enzyme, the water-oxidizing complex or the water-plastoquinone photo-oxidoreductase, has now been crystallized and its structure solved to a resolution of 3.8 Angstrom.
