Glycerol binding at the narrow channel of photosystem II stabilizes the low-spin S2 state of the oxygen-evolving complex.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) cycles through redox intermediate states Si (i = 0-4) during the photochemical oxidation of water. The S2 state involves an equilibrium of two isomers including the low-spin S2 (LS-S2) state with its characteristic electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) multiline signal centered at g = 2.0, and a high-spin S2 (HS-S2) state with its g = 4.1 EPR signal. The relative intensities of the two EPR signals change under experimental conditions that shift the HS-S2/LS-S2 state equilibrium. Here, we analyze the effect of glycerol on the relative stability of the LS-S2 and HS-S2 states when bound at the narrow channel of PSII, as report
