Abstract Around 1960 experiments of Arnold and Clayton, Chance and Nishimura and Calvin and coworkers demonstrated that the primary photosynthetic electron transfer processes are not abolished by cooling to cryogenic temperatures. After a brief historical introduction, this review discusses some aspects of electron transfer in bacterial reaction centers and of optical spectroscopy of photosynthetic systems with emphasis on low-temperature experiments.
