Hydrogen positions and water networks in photosystem II revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (Science, June 2024)
Rana Hussein together with Holger Dobbek, Athina Zouni and Julia Gaetcke (UniSysCat/SFB1078), and Petra Wendler (UniSysCat) in collaboration with colleagues from the Umeå and Uppsala Universities (Sweden) used cryo-electron microscopy single-particle analysis (cryo-EM SPA) to reveal previously undetected water networks and more than half of the hydrogen and proton positions. The results elucidate the water binding/activation and plastoquinone B protonation.
