Photosystem I utilizes sulfur clusters as electrons are literally passed through Photosystem I in bioenergetic chemical reactions. As can be seen, several sulfur clusters are present throughout Photosystem I.

In cyanobacteria, phycocyaninbilin (CYC) is a blue accessory pigment attached to photosynthetic membranes, utilized in photosynthesis. It accounts for up to 20% of proteins in cyanobacteria.
