The electron is given up by the cytochrome b<sub>6</sub>f and transforms plastocyanin in shape Cu<sup>2+</sup> into plastocyanin in shape Cu<sup>+</sup>.

Then this plastocyanin diffuses through the lumen of thylakoid (remember its localisation in intern membrane of the thylakoid) until the recognition/binding occurs with the photosystem I.

Photosystem I (P700)oxidizes Cu<sup>+</sup>Pc according to the following reaction :
Photosystem I (P700) oxidizes Cu<sup>+</sup>Pc according to the following reaction :
:Cu<sup>+</sup>Pc &rarr; Cu<sup>2+</sup>Pc + e<sup>-</sup>
:Cu<sup>+</sup>Pc &rarr; Cu<sup>2+</sup>Pc + e<sup>-</sup>
P700 become P700<sup>+</sup>. Photosystem I, now actived, can produces NADPH. This NADPH will be used in the dark reaction of photosynthesis.
