Discovery of a single molecule transistor in photosystem II

Quantum theory is used to rationalize the results of recent high-precision X-ray diffraction studies of photosystem II. It is proposed that a single molecule transistor regulates the flow of electrons through this remarkable system. At the core of the device, electrons flow through an iron(II) d-orb...
