The detailed chemical mechanism of the oxidation of water to O2 is not yet well understood, but with structural information shows_one electron carrier, generally identified as Yz, functions between the oxygen-evolving complex and P680 to function in this region, Yz needs to have a very strong tendency to retain its electrons, this species has been identified as;
