Function

function

Component of the cytochrome b6-f complex, which mediates electron transfer between photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI), cyclic electron flow around PSI, and state transitions.

Miscellaneous

Heme 1 (or BH or b566) is high-potential and absorbs at about 566 nm, and heme 2 (or BL or b562) is low-potential and absorbs at about 562 nm.

Cofactor

Protein has several cofactor binding sites:
heme b (UniProtKB | Rhea| CHEBI:60344 )

Note: Binds 2 heme b groups non-covalently with two histidine residues as axial ligands.
heme c (UniProtKB | Rhea| CHEBI:61717 )

Note: Binds one heme group covalently by a single cysteine link with no axial amino acid ligand. This heme was named heme ci.
