1RFS - PubMed Abstract: 
The cytochrome b6f complex functions in oxygenic photosynthesis as an integral membrane protein complex that mediates coupled electron transfer and proton translocation. The Rieske [2Fe-2S] protein subunit of the complex functions at the electropositive (p) membrane interface as the electron acceptor for plastoquinol and donor for the cytochrome f subunit, and may have a dynamic role in catalyzing electron and proton transfer at the membrane interface. There are significant structure/function similarities to the cytochrome bc1 complex of the respiratory chain.
