Editing Photosystem I (section)

== History ==
This photosystem is known as PSI because it was discovered before Photosystem II, although future experiments showed that Photosystem II is actually the first enzyme of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Aspects of PSI were discovered in the 1950s, but the significance of these discoveries was not yet recognized at the time.<ref name="Fromme">{{cite journal | vauthors = Fromme P, Mathis P | title = Unraveling the photosystem I reaction center: a history, or the sum of many efforts | journal = Photosynthesis Research | volume = 80 | issue = 1–3 | pages = 109–24 | year = 2004 | pmid = 16328814 | doi = 10.1023/B:PRES.0000030657.88242.e1 | bibcode = 2004PhoRe..80..109F | s2cid = 13832448 }}</ref> Louis Duysens first proposed the concepts of Photosystems I and II in 1960, and, in the same year, a proposal by Fay Bendall and Robert Hill assembled earlier discoveries into a coherent theory of serial photosynthetic reactions.<ref name="Fromme"/> Hill and Bendall's hypothesis was later confirmed in experiments conducted in 1961 by the Duysens and Witt groups.<ref name="Fromme"/>
