Dynamic structures of the oxygen-evolving center of Photosystem II following two flashes excitation.

Caption

Researchers from Okayama University have discovered rapid structural changes in the oxygen-evolving center of Photosystem II (PSII) upon light excitation, revealing insights into the mechanism of water oxidation. These findings provide crucial information for understanding the dynamics of PSII during photosynthesis.
