Abstract

Several key concepts and geometrical rules for the Mn–Mn and Mn–O distances of the CaMn4O5 cluster in the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) by previous and present theoretical calculations were examined for a clear understanding of the damage-free S1 structure revealed by X-ray free electron laser (XFEL). A simple equation to estimate the Mna–Mnb distance in relation to the Mna–O(5) distance was derived taking into consideration the Jahn–Teller (JT) effects for Mn centers, indicating that the XFEL structure is regarded as a slightly right-elongated quasi-central structure in contradiction to a right-opened structure proposed by the EXAFS measurements.
