Electron Transfer and Structure of Plant Photosystem II

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics ((PTCP,volume 25))

Abstract

Electron transfer and structure of plant photosystem II were studied by advanced EPR techniques. Pulsed EPR, pulsed electron electron double resonance (PELDOR), and spin polarized radical pair ESEEM were applied to determine the distance between radical pairs of electron transfer components. These methods can detect accurately the dipolar interaction between a pair of radicals, from which the distance is derived. The determined distances and their orientations were compared with recently observed X-ray data. EPR of the manganese cluster in water oxidizing complexes in photosystem II were discussed with respect of their functions.
