Photosynthetic water oxidation performed by plants and cyanobacteria is essential for the sustenance of life on Earth, not only as an electron source for synthesizing sugars from CO2, but also as an O2 source in the atmosphere. Water oxidation takes place at the Mn4CaO5cluster in photosystem II, where a series of electron transfer reactions coupled with proton transfer occur using light energy. The author addresses the unresolved mechanisms of photosynthetic water oxidation and relevant proton-coupled electron transfer reactions using a combined approach of experimental and computational methods such as Fourier transform infrared difference spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The results show that protonation and hydrogen-bond structures of water molecules and amino acid residues in the protein play important roles in regulation of the electron and proton transfer reactions. These findings and the methodology make a significant contribution to our understanding the molecular mechanism of photosynthetic water oxidation. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aSystems biology 606 $aBiological systems 606 $aPhysical chemistry 606 $aSpectroscopy 606 $aAmorphous substances 606 $aComplex fluids 606 $aSystems Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27050 606 $aPhysical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001 606 $aSpectroscopy/Spectrometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C11020 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021 615 0$aSystems biology. 615 0$aBiological systems. 615 0$aPhysical chemistry. 615 0$aSpectroscopy. 615 0$aAmorphous substances. 615 0$aComplex fluids. 615 14$aSystems Biology. 615 24$aPhysical Chemistry. 615 24$aSpectroscopy/Spectrometry. 615 24$aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics. 676 $a581.13342 700 $aNakamura$b Shin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0888920 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373948603321 996 $aMolecular Mechanisms of Proton-coupled Electron Transfer and Water Oxidation in Photosystem II$91985637 997 $aUNINA
