Evidence on the formation of singlet oxygen in the donor side photoinhibition of photosystem II: EPR spin-trapping study.

When photosystem II (PSII) is exposed to excess light, singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) formed by the interaction of molecular oxygen with triplet chlorophyll. Triplet chlorophyll is formed by the charge recombination of triplet radical pair (3)[P680(•+)Pheo(•-)] in the acceptor-side photoinhibition of PSII...
