Figure 2: Cofactors of the electron transfer chain (ETC) and of PsaC. View parallel to the membrane plane. The pairs of chlorophylls of the ETC are arranged in two branches A and B. They are labelled eC, followed by the letter A or B indicating whether PsaA or PsaB, respectively, coordinates Mg2+, and by numbers 1 to 3 starting from the lumenal side. Phylloquinones are Q[K]-A and Q[K]-B. The Fe[4]S[4] clusters are labelled F[X], F[A] and F[B] according to their spectroscopic terms. The centre-to-centre distances between the cofactors (black lines) are given in Å. In PsaC, parts analogous to 2[Fe[4]S[4]] bacterial ferredoxins are pink, an insertion and extensions at C and N termini are green.
