Photosynthesis converts light energy to chemical energy to fuel life on earth. Light energy is harvested by antenna pigments and transferred to reaction centers (RCs) to drive the electron transfer (ET) reactions. Here, we present cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of two forms of the RC...
