New and known structural and functional insights in the role of beta-carotene and of alpha-tocopherol in photosytem II are reviewed. A concept is presented connecting the failure of P680 triplet quenching by beta-carotene with the formation of singlet oxygen and its scavenging in the turnover of the D1 protein and by tocopherol in the maintenance of PS II structure and function.
本文综述了β-胡萝卜素和α-生育酚在光系统II中的作用所获得的新的和已知的结构与功能方面的见解。提出了一个概念，将β-胡萝卜素对P680三线态猝灭的失败与单线态氧的形成及其在D1蛋白周转过程中的清除以及生育酚在维持PS II结构和功能方面的作用联系起来。
