Photosystem I
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-020947
A protein complex located in the photosynthetic membrane. Photosystem I is one of two types of reaction centers found in higher plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. The photosystem I reaction center uses light energy to transfer an electron from a mobile electron transfer protein (plastocyanin or a cytochrome c) on one side of the photosynthetic membrane to a mobile electron transfer protein (ferredoxin) on the opposite side of the photosynthetic membrane.
