This study examines the structure-activity relationship of antimycin A-like compounds on photosystem II, identifying key structural features and proposing tentative binding models.

This study shows that PIFI stabilizes the NDH-PSI supercomplex, maintaining plastoquinone redox balance and PSII efficiency in chloroplasts.

This study shows that antimycin A directly suppresses photosystem II activity, unlike antimycin A3 or myxothiazol, and recommends using AA3 and myxothiazol for specific pathways.

This study identifies the evolutionary origin of Lhcx in diatoms and shows its role in photoprotection through non-photochemical quenching.

This study shows that antimycin A directly affects photosystem II and causes photoinhibition, suggesting it is not a specific inhibitor of PGR5-dependent CEF-PSI.
