Caption

A comparison of the cofactors of a Zn-containing reaction center with those of Photosystem I and Photosystem II from plants. Although the Zn-RC contains 6 identical chlorins, similar to that of Photosystem I, it's function is almost identical to the magnesium containing reaction center (the Photosystem II type of RC).
