How photosynthetic bacteria harvest solar energy

Cogdell et al describe what is currently known about the structure of the bacterial photosynthetic unit and then outline the series of reactions which take place between the absorption of a "green" photon by the carotenoids in the antenna system and the charge separation across the membran...
