In the sunlight reaction, in photosynthesis, the plastocyanin is an important electron donor to the Photosystem I (P700) | In the sunlight reaction, in photosynthesis, the plastocyanin is an important electron donor to the Photosystem I (P700).Thanks to its hydrophobic surface, plastocyanin is localised in the intern membrane of the thylakoid in chloroplasts. Its redox potential, about 370 mV, has allowed to determine the place of plastocyanin in the electron transport chain (between the photosystem II to the photosystem I): between the cytochrome b6f complex and the phtosystem I. | ||
Plastocyanin receive an electron from the cytochrome b6f complex and give up its electron to the photosystem I. | |||
