The 2.5 Å structure of the cytochrome (cyt) b ₆ f complex provides a basis for control of the rate‐limiting electron transfer step of oxygenic photosynthesis associated with the plastoquinol/quinone exchange pathway. Here, a structural change was made at a site containing two proline residues which border the intra‐cyt pathway for plastoquinol/quinone exchange. The proline side chains confer a larger aperture for passage of plastoquinol/quinone. Change of these prolines to alanine in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 results in attenuation of this rate‐limiting step, observed by a two‐fold reduction in the rate of cell growth, O ₂ evolution, and plastoquinol‐mediated reduction of cyt f . This study demonstrates modification by site‐directed mutagenesis of photosynthetic energy transduction based on rational application of information in the atomic structure.
