Chapter
Refined Model of the Oxidation States and Structures of the Mn/Ca/Cl Cluster of the Oxygen Evolving Complex of Photosystem II
Central to the problem of photosynthetic oxygen evolution is the structure and function of the Mn/Ca/Cl complex that appears to be the locus of charge accumulation and water splitting. In the recent past our g...

Chapter
Substrate Water 18O Exchange Kinetics in the S2 State of Photosystem II
The oxidation of water into molecular oxygen during photosynthesis is catalyzed by a subdomain of photosystem II (PSII) termed the water oxidizing complex (WOC). Contained within the WOC is a redox-active Mn/t...

Chapter
Calcium and Chloride Cofactors of the Oxygen Evolving Complex - X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy Evidence for A Mn/Ca/Cl Heteronuclear Cluster
The oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) in green plants and algae contains a cluster of four Mn atoms in the active site, which catalyzes the oxidation of water to dioxygen. Along with Mn, Cl− ...
