Background
Photosystem II, crystallized from the bacteria, Thermosynechococcus elongatus, at 3.50 Å, is representative of the photosynthetic protein found in cyanobacteria and plants. The protein is associated with a variety of ligands. It is mainly composed of and is a symmetrical . Fifteen subunits are in each monomer, with multiple subunits associated with the oxygen evolving complex missing in this crystallization.
Photosynthesis
surround Photosystem II and capture energy from sunlight, exciting electrons. These electrons are first transferred to
