摘要：

The electron-transfer reactions of the photosynthetic reaction center are mystifying, as there are two possible transfer paths and no obvious reason for the electron to choose one over the other, Recent computational studies, although they use diverse assumptions, agree that the electrostatic field of the protein provides the determining factor.
