Structural Analysis of Cyanobacterial Photosystem I

Abstract

Summarizes the advances made in biophysics, biochemistry, and molecular biology of the enzyme known as Photosystem I, the light-induced plastocyanin: ferredoxin oxidoreductase. This text includes information on molecular architecture, protein-pigment interactions, excitation and electron transfer dynamics, protein-cofactor interactions, and more.
