Abstract

Now is a very exciting time for researchers in the area of the primary reactions of purple bacterial photosynthesis. Detailed structural information is now available for not only the reaction center (Lancaster et al. 1995, in: Blankenship RE et al. (eds) Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria, pp 503-526), but also LH2 from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila (McDermott et al. 1995, Nature 374: 517-521) and LH1 from Rhodospirillum rubrum (Karrasch et al. 1995. EMBO J 14: 631-638). These structures can now be integrated to produce models of the complete photosynthetic unit (PSU) (Papiz et al., 1996, Trends Plant Sci, in press), which opens the door to a much more detailed understanding of the energy transfer events occurring within the PSU.
