title: The discovery of the nature of ferredoxin in photosystems: a recollection.
abstract: I describe here my recollection of the story of the discovery of the nature of ferredoxin in photosystems that began in 1965: this story involved the EPR measurements by a young physicist J.H.M. Thornley, using samples provided by J.F. Gibson and D. Hall, and in collaboration with F.R. Whatley.
