This volume contains the contributions from the speakers at the
NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Structure of the Photosynthetic
Bacterial Reaction Center X-ray Crystallography and Optical
Spectroscopy with Polarized Light" which was held at the "Maison
d'Hotes" of the Centre d'Etudes Nucleaires de Cadarache in the
South of France, 20-25 September, 1987. This meeting continued in
the spirit of a previous workshop which took place in Feldafing
(FRG), March 1985. Photosynthetic reaction centers are intrinsic
membrane proteins which, by performing a photoinduced transmembrane
charge separation, are responsible for the conversion and storage
of solar energy. Since the pioneering work of Reed and Clayton
(1968) on the isolation of the reaction center from photosynthetic
bacteria, optical spectroscopy with polarized light has been one of
the main tools used to investigate the geometrical arrangement of
the various chromophores in these systems. The recent elucidation
by X-ray crystallography of the structure of several bacterial
reaction centers, a breakthrough initiated by Michel and
Deisenhofer, has provided us with the atomic coordinates of the
pigments and some details about their interactions with neighboring
aminoacid residues. This essential step has given a large impetus
both to experimentalists and to theoreticians who are now
attempting to relate the X-ray structural model to the optical
properties of the reaction center and ultimately to its primary
biological function.
