Photosystem II (PSII) is a multisubunit membrane protein complex performing light-induced electron transfer and water-splitting reactions, leading to the formation of molecular oxygen. The first ...

The process of oxygenic photosynthesis, in which solar energy is converted into chemical energy, underpins life on earth and is the principal producer of both oxygen and organic matter on earth.

Researchers from Okayama University have discovered rapid structural changes in the oxygen-evolving center of Photosystem II (PSII) upon light excitation, revealing insights into the mechanism of ...
