1 We have used electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to investigate the pathway of photooxidation of cytochrome b-559 in PSII and have shown that it proceeds via photooxidation of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b Homo sapiens
2 We propose that the function of cytochrome b-559 is to mediate cyclic electron transfer to rereduce photooxidized chlorophyll and protect PSII from photoinhibition. Chlorophyll mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b Homo sapiens
