Three distinct methods yielded essentially identical difference spectra, arising from two unequivalent bacteriochlorophyll a molecules. These spectra permitted the molecular interaction states of the magnesium atoms and of the keto and acetyl carbonyls of the primary donor bacteriochlorophylls to be described. From these data, a molecular model of the primary donor of Rps. sphaeroides, wild type, is proposed. This model involves no mutual binding interactions between the two bacteriochlorophylls, in the neutral, groundstate, through their magnesium atoms and their acetyl carbonyls.The first steps of bacterial photosynthesis, involving the creation of a donor-acceptor ion pair from trapped energy of incoming photons, occur in specialized membrane-bound pigment-protein complexes named reaction centers (RC). 1 These proteic complexes have been isolatedin highly pure yet functional states from several species of bacteria (Gingras,
