a–d Reaction energy diagram (in kcal/mol) for the transformation processes from CP1 to CP1-1, CP1-1 to CP1-2β, CP1-2β to CP1-1′, and CP1-1′ to CP1-2α. The thick bottle-green arrow signifies a step that requires photoexcitation. The thick blue dashed lines for Int3, Int6, Int10, and Int12 are the relative energies obtained by using the respective X-ray structures when building the model in Supplementary Fig. 26.
