Structural evidence for intermediates during O2 formation in photosystem II (Nature, May '23)
Rana Hussein and Mohamed Ibrahim (present address Inst Mol Medicine, University of Lübeck, Germany) together with Holger Dobbek and Athina Zouni (UniSysCat/SFB1078) in collaboration with colleagues from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (CA, USA), Uppsala University (Sweden), KTH Royal Inst of Technology Stockholm, Sweden), RIKEN Spring-8 Center (Hyogo, Japan), SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (Menlo Park, CA, USA), UCSF (San Francisco, CA, USA), UC Berkeley (CA, USA), UW Madison (Wisconsin, USA), Umeå University (Umeå, Sweden) used time-resolved crystallography (XFEL) to reveal groundbreaking structural insights into the mechanism of the water oxidation process of PSII during the S3-S0 transition.
