The recent study by Chen et al. describes the structure of photosynthetic reaction centers in a green sulfur bacterium, contributing to our understanding of the evolution of reaction centers to modern plant photosystems and the production of oxygen from water.
Photosynthetic reaction centres (RCs) are the sites of primary events in photosynthesis, where photon absorption leads to charge separation. Chen et al. recently described the RC structure in a green sulfur bacterium. Together with the structure of heliobacterial RC published previously, this study is instrumental to elucidate RC evolution to modern plant photosystems and oxygen production from water.
