EC 1.97.1.12

Accepted name: photosystem I

Reaction: reduced plastocyanin + oxidized ferredoxin + = oxidized plastocyanin + reduced ferredoxin

Systematic name: plastocyanin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (light-dependent)

Comments: Contains chlorophyll, phylloquinones, carotenoids and [4Fe-4S] clusters. Cytochrome c6 can act as an alternative electron donor, and flavodoxin as an alternative acceptor in some species.
