Abstract
Around 1960 experiments of Arnold and Clayton, Chance and Nishimura an d Calvin and coworkers demonstrated that the primary photosynthetic el ectron transfer processes are not abolished by cooling to cryogenic te mperatures. After a brief historical introduction, this review discuss es some aspects of electron transfer in bacterial reaction centers and of optical spectroscopy of photosynthetic systems with emphasis on lo w-temperature experiments.
