We have found that elevated copper concentrations, apart from the inhibition of oxygen evolution, changed the initial states distribution of the oxygen-evolving complex. Already at low concentrations, copper ions oxidized the low-potential form of cytochrome b559 and also its high-potential form at higher concentrations at which fluorescence quenching was observed. We suggest that the primary target sites in Photosystem II for copper is tyrosinez, both cytochrome b559 forms and chlorophyllz, and that these sites are the source of the copper-induced fluorescence quenching and oxygen evolution inhibition in Photosystem II.

The Mn4CaO5 cluster site in the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) undergoes structural perturbations, such as those induced by Ca2+/Sr2+ exchanges or Ca/Mn removal. These changes have been known to induce long-range positive shifts (between +30 and +150 mV) in the redox potential of the primary quinone electron acceptor plastoquinone A (QA), which is located 40 Å from the OEC. To further investigate these effects, we reanalyzed the crystal structure of Sr-PSII resolved at 2.1 Å and compared it with the native Ca-PSII resolved at 1.9 Å. Here, we focus on the acceptor site and report the possible long-range interactions between the donor, Mn4Ca(Sr)O5 cluster, and acceptor sites.
