Abstract
The atomic structures of photosynthetic reaction centers of two species of purple bacteria and two photosystems 2 of cyanobacteria were resolved in the late last century. In this work I put forward the idea that of the huge body of data available thus far, only three structural factors are responsible for the unique function of conversion of physical energy of electronic excitation into electrochemical energy of separated opposite charges in reaction centers at least in purple bacteria and, perhaps, in other photosynthetic organisms.
