Schematic representation of the photosynthetic transport chain in the thylakoid membrane. Water oxidation happens inside the lumen and is part of a cascade of redox reactions between the different protein complexes and intermediates present in the membrane. Depending on their chemical properties, different photosynthesis inhibitors target different active sites, causing interruption of electron flow (photosystem I (PSI) and PSII) or blocking the production of ATP (ATP synthase).
