Abstract
Urea (DCMU) and triazine (atrazine) inhibitors at the reducing side of Photosystem II have been propounded (B.R. Velthuys, 1981) to act by preventing the binding of a plastoquinone radical anion PQ− on a B proteic component. PQ− is formed during the one-electron reduction of the primary acceptor Q.
