The observed structural flexibility and conformational fluctuation of the CP43 lumenal domain are suggested to play important roles in the biogenesis of PSII and the photoassembly of the Mn4CaO5 cluster.
Characterization of Highly Purified Photosystem I Complexes from the Chlorophyll d-dominated Cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina MBIC 11017*
The redox potentials of P740 were comparable with the potential of P700 in other cyanobacteria and higher plants; this suggests that the overall energetics of the PS I reaction were adjusted to the electron acceptor side to utilize the lower light energy gained by P740.

The redox potential of the primary electron donor P700, E(m)(P700/P700(+)), of Photosystem I (PSI) has been determined by spectroelectrochemistry with an optically transparent thin-layer electrode (OTTLE) cell to elucidate the scattering by as much as 150 mV, suggesting that the species believed to appear later in evolution of photosynthetic organisms exhibit higher values than previously thought.

The results clearly explain the mechanism of electron transfer regulation in PSII relevant to photoprotection with an impaired Mn4CaO5 cluster, in which a large decrease in the Em gap between QA and QB promotes rapid charge recombination via QA−.
