Abstract: First light The first step of photosynthesis in plants, algae and cyanobacteria is the activation of photosystem II, a large protein-cofactor complex embedded in the chloroplast membrane. Although several medium-resolution X-ray crystal structures of this complex exist, a new structure published this week shows previously unseen cofactors in close company with photosystem II, and reveals details of the geometry and coordination of the Mn4Ca cluster, where the oxidation of water occurs.
