Photosystem II subunit S (PsbS) senses thylakoid lumen acidification when plants are exposed to excess light. Here the authors use NMR and IR spectroscopy to show that low pH causes repositioning of an amphipathic helix and folding of a loop involving critical pH sensing glutamate residues in PsbS.
