Abstract
Mechanisms for the early electron transfer steps in the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center are discussed. An internal consistency test is described which places a real constraint on the unknown parameters. A resulting possible paradox is described, together with proposed electric field measurements and an alternate mechanism.
