Oxygenic photosynthesis is catalyzed by four multi-subunit membrane-protein complexes: photosystem I, photosystem II, the cytochrome b6f complex and F-ATPase. Photosystem I generates the most negative redox potential in nature; photosystem II generates an oxidant strong enough to oxidize water.
"Oxygenic photosynthesis, the principal converter of sunlight into chemical energy on earth, is catalyzed by four multi-subunit membrane-protein complexes: photosystem I (PSI), photosystem II (PSII), the cytochrome b(6)f complex, and F-ATPase. PSI generates the most negative redox potential in nature and largely determines the global amount of enthalpy in living systems. PSII generates an oxidant whose redox potential is high enough to enable it to oxidize H(2)O, a substrate so abundant that it assures a practically unlimited electron source for life on earth."
