The evolutionary developments that led to the ability of photosynthetic organisms to oxidize water to molecular oxygen are discussed. Two major changes from a more primitive non-oxygen-evolving reaction center are required: a charge-accumulating system and a reaction center pigment with a greater oxidizing potential. Intermediate stages are proposed in which hydrogen peroxide was oxidized by the reaction center, and an intermediate pigment, similar to chlorophyll d, was present.
