Mimicking the Oxygen-Evolving Center in Photosynthesis

Mimicking the Oxygen-Evolving Center in Photosynthesis

The oxygen-evolving center (OEC) in photosystem II (PSII) of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms is a unique heterometallic-oxide Mn4CaO5-cluster that catalyzes water splitting into electrons, protons, and molecular oxygen through a five-state cycle (Sn, n = 0 ~ 4). It serves as the blueprint for the...
