Question
a) What technique(s) can be used to determine the structure of the oxygen-
evolving complex as shown in A?
b) In the oxygen-evolving complex A, what type of bond connects Ca1
(Ca2+) and 01?
c) In photosynthesis, the oxygen-evolving complex A works as a water-
oxidizing agent which can produce O2 from H2O under sunlight. In this
process, does H20 act as a Lewis acid or Lewis base?

Evidence suggests that manganese (Mn) was first incorporated into
biological systems roughly 3.2-2.8 billion years ago. Together with calcium,
it formed the manganese-calcium oxide complex which consisted of a
manganese cluster. The incorporation of a manganese center in
photosystem II was highly significant, as it allowed for photosynthetic
oxygen evolution of plants. The oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) (shown in
A) is a critical component of photosystem II contained in the thylakoid
membranes of chloroplasts; it is responsible for terminal photooxidation of
water during light reactions. In the text box below, answer the following
