Abstract
The photoinactivation of photosystem II is a very complex process which gradually affects all of its parts. A damage has been reported to occur in the reaction center itself /P680-Pheo/1,2,3,4 as wetl as on its donor /Z,D,Mn/S-states/5,6 and acceptor /QA,QB/7,8.9,10 sides. It is not clear, yet, where the photoinactivat ion starts, in what order the secondary processes occur and what the underlying mechanism of the damage is. These questions are addressed also in the present paper.
