Figure 2 Diagrammatic Representation of a Mechanistic Scheme for Water Splitting and Dioxygen Formation in PSII The substrate water molecules and products of the oxidation reactions for each S state are shown in red. Intermediates that may exist between the S-state transitions are not depicted nor is the possible peroxide intermediate just prior to O-O bond formation. Although the electrophilic oxo in the S4 state is shown attached to MnV it could equally be incorporated in a terminal MnIV-oxyl.
