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?](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/fcdfc543-1a18-408b-a418-dbffbbbb9b99/3eb2c915-81cf-46bd-a92a-c2b808aae2d1/5vz8ro_thumbnail.jpeg)

![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

A single mutation in the riboswitch’s sequence changes the ligand binding specificity from guanine toadenine. Predict what single mutation could be made in the guanine-responsive riboswitch sequenceto convert it to an adenine-responsive riboswitch. Justify your answer b. Could a DNA molecule with the same nucleotide sequence as the guanine-responsive riboswitch bindguanine in a similar manner as the RNA-based molecule? Explainarrow_forwardin all cells observed to date, DNA serves as the stable, information-rivh molecule that stores genetic information. In contrast, in almost all cases, non-catalytic RNS serves as either a labile intermediate molecule involve in the production of proteins or as a labile regulatory molecule. A) based on the material, hypothesize why the molecule structures of DNA and RNA are, or are not, consistent with these two roles. B) RNA can also serve a catalytic role(ribosomes, RNA splicing, etc). What part of the RNA molecule would you predict makes it more likely than DNA to participate in enzymatic reactions? C) Explain how all these ideas may support as "RNA World Hypothesis" where RNA evolved first, followed by DNA and proteinarrow_forward
