AI Article Synopsis

  • Photosystem II (PSII) efficiently converts solar energy into chemical energy using common elements in water, facilitating the design of better artificial solar energy catalysts.
  • The MnOCa cluster within PSII undergoes five oxidation states, crucial for splitting water molecules and releasing protons and electrons.
  • Advances in Serial Femtosecond X-ray crystallography (SFX) allow scientists to study short-lived reaction intermediates in PSII, enhancing our understanding of the water-splitting mechanism and the structure of various oxidation states.

Article Abstract

Photosystem II (PSII) is a unique natural catalyst that converts solar energy into chemical energy using earth abundant elements in water at physiological pH. Understanding the reaction mechanism will aid the design of biomimetic artificial catalysts for efficient solar energy conversion. The MnOCa cluster cycles through five increasingly oxidized intermediates before oxidizing two water molecules into O and releasing protons to the lumen and electrons to drive PSII reactions. The Mn coordination and OEC electronic structure changes through these intermediates. Thus, obtaining a high-resolution structure of each catalytic intermediate would help reveal the reaction mechanism. While valuable structural information was obtained from conventional X-ray crystallography, time-resolution of conventional X-ray crystallography limits the analysis of shorted-lived reaction intermediates. Serial Femtosecond X-ray crystallography (SFX), which overcomes the radiation damage by using ultra short laser pulse for imaging, has been used extensively to study the water splitting intermediates in PSII. Here, we review the state of the art and our understanding of the water splitting reaction before and after the advent of SFX. Furthermore, we analyze the likely Mn coordination in multiple XFEL structures prepared in the dark-adapted S state and those following two-flashes which are poised in the penultimate S oxidation state based on Mn coordination chemistry. Finally, we summarize the major contributions of the SFX to our understanding of the structures of the S and S states.
