This paper summarises a proposed mechanism for water oxidation that advocates that hydrogen-atom abstraction occurs upon each S-state transition and, therefore, emphasises the importance of maintaining overall charge neutrality. The stepwise abstraction of four hydrogen atoms occurs from two water molecules, each ligated to two manganese atoms that are postulated to be positioned 5.5 Å apart.

A key concept in this mechanism is the formation of an unreactive Mn=O oxo compound, followed by its conversion to a reactive Mn-O oxyl, at which point an O-O bond forms between the oxyl and an outer sphere water molecule.

Cross-linking studies support the subunit positioning shown in Figure 4, adding weight to the idea that additional trimers of LHCII can associate with the PSII supercore complex (see [41•,42•]) and that CP29, CP26 and CP24 interface between LHCII and the core complex.

A 20 Å 3D structure of CP47-RC based on negatively stained 2D crystals and electron microscopy is described. The interpretation of this low-resolution map is consistent with the higher resolution maps described in [23,24••,25••].

This paper reports a 9 Å projection map of a PSII complex that maintains the ability to oxidise water. All of the features revealed in the CP47-RC projection maps [23,24••] are observed and some of the additional density is attributed to three pairs of the transmembrane helices of CP43. The CP43 helices are related to CP47 by a local twofold axis that also relates the D1 and D2 proteins.
