Abstract

Photosynthetic electron transfer pathways conserved in purple bacteria, Chloroflexus, green sulfur bacteria, and Heliobacteria are explained. The structures and functions of photochemical reaction center complexes and related electron transfer proteins found in the pathways are described with illustrations. How the electron transfer processes link to proton translocations across the membrane is discussed. A light energy conversion system without electron transfer systems, performed by bacteriorhodopsin, is also addressed.
