Structural studies on ...The discovery of chlorophyll f-containing photosystems, with their long-wavelength photochemistry, represented a distinct, low-energy paradigm for oxygenic photosynthesis. Structural studies on chlorophyll f-containing photosystem I could identify some chlorophylls f sites, but none among the photochemically active pigments and concluded that chlorophyll f plays no photochemical role. Here, we report two cryo-EM structures of far-red PSI from PCC 7203, allowing the assignment of eight chlorophylls f molecules, including the redox active A. Simulations of absorption difference spectra induced by charge separation indicate that the experimental spectra can be reproduced only by considering the presence of a chlorophyll f at the A site. The chlorophyll f locations, wavelength assignments, and conserved far-red-specific residues provide functional insights for efficient use of long wavelength photons. #1: Journal: Acta Crystallogr., Sect.
