Abstract

The ligand environment of the phylloquinone and redox active chlorophyll binding sites of the Photosystem I reaction centre will be investigated using a combination of site directed mutagenesis and spectroscopic analysis. The objectives will be: 1) to determine if electron transfer within the reaction centre is unidirectional within the dimeric environment of the reaction centre; 2) to identify the active path of electron transfer; and 3) to investigate the factors within the dimeric protein environment which control the path of electron transfer and the properties of the redox active chlorophyll and phylloquinone cofactors.
