B-side Electron Transfer in Bacterial Photosynthetic Reaction Centers Revealed by a Few-Cycle Pulse Laser

B-side electron transfer in wide-type reaction centers from Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 was investigated by broadband real-time vibrational spectroscopy. HB− was found to be generated in less than 50 fs after the excitation of 6.3 fs laser pulse, and its decay lifetime was determined to be ~280fs...
