Popis: Worldwide there is a large research investment in developing solar fuel systems as clean and sustainable sources of energy. The fundamental mechanisms of natural photosynthesis can provide a source of inspiration for these studies. Photosynthetic reaction center (RC) proteins capture and convert light energy into chemical energy that is ultimately used to drive oxygenic water-splitting and carbon fixation. For the light energy to be used, the RC communicates with other donor/acceptor components via a sophisticated electron transfer scheme that includes electron transfer reactions between soluble and membrane bound proteins. Herein, we reengineer an inherent interprotein electron transfer pathway in a natural photosynthetic system to make it photocatalytic for aqueous H
