Original Kurzfassung:
Photosystem II (PSII) is a membrane-spanning, multi-subunit pigment?protein
complex responsible for the oxidation of water and the reduction of plastoqui-
none in oxygenic photosynthesis. In the present review, the recent explosive
increase in available structural information about the PSII core complex based
on X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy is described at a level
of detail that is suitable for a future structure-based analysis of light-harvesting
processes. This description includes a proposal for a consistent numbering
scheme of protein-bound pigment cofactors across species. The structural sur-
vey is complemented by an overview of the state of affairs in structure-based
modeling of excitation energy transfer in the PSII core complex with emphasis
on electrostatic computations, optical properties of the reaction center, the
assignment of long-wavelength chlorophylls, and energy trapping
mechanisms.
