This study examines how the D1/S264V mutation affects electron transfer and iron states in Photosystem II with different PsbA variants, revealing significant functional differences.

The paper investigates the kinetics of S0 state reformation in PSII after O2 release, finding similar kinetics to the S3TyrZ* to S0TyrZ transition, suggesting no delay for substrate water insertion.

The paper investigates the effects of TyrD*, TyrZ*, and QA*- radical formation on the Soret region absorption spectra in Photosystem II from multiple species and mutants, identifying PD1 as the blue-shifted species and suggesting other pigments may contribute to shifts from TyrD* and TyrZ*.

This study investigates the effects of D1-V185T and D1-V185N mutations on PSII function in Synechocystis 6803 and Thermosynechococcus vestitus using EPR and optical kinetics, revealing altered proton transfer dynamics and water binding.

The paper investigates the contribution of PD1 and PD2 to the difference spectrum in the Soret region of PSII by analyzing mutants and comparing their spectra to wild-type strains.
