Abstract

Highly purified oxygen-evolving photosystem (PS) II complexes with simple polypeptide compositions have been isolated from higher plants and a cyanobacterium (1–3). The oxygen-evolving complex prepared from the thermophilic cyanobacterium, Synechococcus sp., consists of 6 major polypeptides of 47, 40, 35, 31, 28 and 9 KDa and contain all the essential components associated with PS II electron transport such as Mn, Z, P680, pheophytin, QA, QB, iron and calcium (4).
