Abstract

For the study of electron and proton transfer processes in proteins, photosynthetic reaction centers (RC) are of considerable interest as they provide a system that allows to trigger the reaction sequences in a natural way by light. Especially promising objects are the RC of purple bacteria where for two species the three dimensional structure of the RC is known in great detail. The use of single-site mutations adds a further powerful tool to shine light on the role of single amino acids in photosynthetic electron and proton transport.
