The NATO Advanced Research Workshop entitled "The Photosynthetic
Bacterial Reaction Center: Structure, Spectroscopy, and Dynamics"
was held May 10-15, 1992, in the Maison d'H6tes of the Centre
d'Etudes Nuc1eaires de Cadarache near Aix-en-Provence in the south
of France. This workshop is the most recent of a string of meetings
which started in Feldafing (Germany) in March 1985, soon after the
three-dimensional structure of the bacterial reaction center had
been elucidated by X-ray crystallography. This was followed, in
September 1987, by a workshop in Cadarache and, in March 1990, by a
second meeting in Feldafing. Although one of the most important
processes on Earth, photosynthesis is still poorly understood.
Stimulated by the breakthrough of solving the bacterial reaction
center structure at atomic resolution, the field of relating this
structure to the function of the reaction center, i. e. the
remarkably efficient conversion and storage of solar energy, has
been developing vigorously. Once the general organization of the
cofactors and some details of the protein-cofactor interactions
were known, it became possible to combine a variety of
spectroscopic techniques with the powerful tool of site-directed
mutagenesis in order to address increasingly incisive questions
about the specific role of some amino acid residues in the electron
transfer process. Still another promising tool is being developed,
namely the exchange of a number of the native bacteriochlorophyll
and bacteriopheophytin cofactors by chemically modified pigments.
