A wide range of values for the photosystem II to photosystem I stoichiometry have been reported. It is likely that some of this variation is due to measurement artifacts, which are discussed. Careful measurements of photosystem II reactions by absorption change at 325 nm, and flash yields of oxygen

โฆ Synopsis
Electron transfer following charge separation in the photosystem I (PSI) reaction center of Synechococcus elongatus is studied using theoretical methods. The difference in rate between two almost symmetrical A-and B-branches is caused by a difference in a single residue (Trp B673 versus Gly A693), close to the F X iron-sulfur cluster. Partly due to its polar environment, Trp B673 acts as an electron acceptor in its p-system. The rate increases on the B-side due to shortened distances for electron transfer.
