Abstract
The photosystem I (PS I) reaction center is a multisubunit, photo-oxidoreductase that catalyzes the oxidation of reduced plastocyanin (or cytochrome c6) in the thylakoid lumen and the reduction of soluble [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin (or flavodoxin) in the stroma. A major advance in our understanding of the reaction center has resulted from the crystallization and X-ray structural analysis of PS I trimers from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus by the groups of Witt and Saenger [1]. A detailed structural model of the PS I complex has recently been described at a nominal resolution of 4 Å [2, 3].
