Abstract
Recent femtosecond experiments on bacterial reaction centers (RCs) could show that a bacteriochlorophyll anion is formed in the first step of the photosynthetic charge separation process [1]. This reaction was interpreted as the reduction of the monomeric bacteriochlorophyll molecule BA, located on one of the two pigment branches, between the primary donor (P, a bacteriochlorophyll dimer) and the secondary acceptor (HA, a bacteriopheophytin molecule).
