'''Plastocyanin''' (PCY) is the long range electron carrier from cytochrome f of photosystem II to photosystem I in photosynthetic systems<ref>PMID:32541018</ref>. | '''Plastocyanin''' (PCY) is the long range electron carrier from cytochrome f of photosystem II to photosystem I in photosynthetic systems<ref>PMID:32541018</ref>. PCY contains a copper atom in its active site. The Cu ion can be in oxidised form (Cu+2) or reduced form (Cu+1). | ||

The PCY molecule has an 8-strand β-barrel shape containing an acidic patch and a hydrophobic patch around the His residue in the active site<ref>PMID:22883960</ref>. His and Leu residues are involved in PCY interaction with cytochrome f needed for for the electron transport. | |||
