Views on Primary Charge Separation in Reaction Centers of Photosynthetic Bacteria

  • Chapter

Abstract

The key question with regard to the pathway of the primary electron transfer in photosyn-thetic reaction centers is addressing the role of the monomer bacteriochlorophyll. In the structure of R.viridis [1] and Rb.sphaeroides [2] reaction centers (RCs) this bacteriochlorophyll molecule (B) has been shown to be located between the bacteriochlorophyll dimer, acting as the primary donor (1P*), and a bacteriopheophytin (H).
