Binding Properties of Photosynthetic Herbicides with the Q<sub>B</sub> Site of the D1 Protein in Plant Photosystem II: A Combined Functional and Molecular Docking Study

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multi-subunit enzymatic complex embedded in the thylakoid membranes responsible for the primary photosynthetic reactions vital for plants. Many herbicides used for weed control inhibit PSII by interfering with the photosynthetic electron transport at the level of the D1 pr...
