Davis 2017 model

The Davis 2017 model is a mechanistic description of the photosynthetic electron transport chain and the thylakoid proton motive force (pmf), resolving the pmf into its two thermodynamically distinct components: the transmembrane electric field (Δψ) and the lumen pH gradient. Its central result is that the Δψ component, rather than lumen acidification, drives elevated PSII charge recombination, which produces singlet oxygen and subsequent PSII photodamage.

Electron transport runs from PSII through the plastoquinone pool, cytochrome b6f, plastocyanin, PSI and ferredoxin to NADPH, while counter-ion fluxes (KEA3 K⁺/H⁺ antiport, VKC K⁺ channel) partition the pmf between Δψ and the pH gradient, and non-photochemical quenching is captured through PsbS protonation and the xanthophyll cycle.
