Experimental and theoretical studies of the photosystem II reaction center: Implications for bicarbonate binding and function
Abstract
dc:descriptionTo investigate the role of arginine residues in bicarbonate binding in the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center, arginines 257 and 269 of the D1 polypeptide (D1-R257 and D1-R269) near the putative bicarbonate binding sites, the non-heme iron and the Q$\sb{\rm B}$ binding niche, were mutated in a unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The effects of mutations on bicarbonate binding and on other aspects of PSII photochemistry were investigated.
