Damaged Amino acids ID'ed in Study

Caption

The three-colored formations (red, purple, yellow) are the three groups of damaged amino acids in Photosystem II identified in this study. They are centered on the active site ("Mn cluster," shown in green), and trace three pathways connecting the Mn cluster to the surface of the complex, the watery bulk medium of the cell.
