Abstract
In the absence of either a functional water-oxidizing complex or artificial PSII electron donors, the secondary donors to P680 + are susceptible to weak-light photoinhibition by a mechanism not yet established [1–3]. The ability to restore O2 evolution through the photoactivation process is also weak-light sensitive [4]. We have studied these phenomena in attempts to identify factors which prohibit complete photoactivation, to determine if D+ is specifically required in this process, and to gain some insights into the specificity of Z+ and D+ for the photooxidation of exogenous PSII donors.
