High-resolution cryo-EM structures of plant cytochrome b<sub>6</sub>f at work.
Science advances 20230113 2
Plants use solar energy to power cellular metabolism. The oxidation of plastoquinol and reduction of plastocyanin by cytochrome b<sub>6</sub>f (Cyt b<sub>6</sub>f) is known as one of the key steps of photosynthesis, but the catalytic mechanism in the plastoquinone oxidation site (Q<sub>p</sub>) remains elusive. Here, we describe two high-resolution cryo-EM structures of the spinach Cyt b<sub>6</sub>f homodimer with endogenous plastoquinones and in complex with plastocyanin. Three plastoquinones ...[more]
