Photosynthetic reaction centres harvest the energy content of sunlight by transporting electrons across an energy-transducing biological membrane. In this study we use time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography using an X-ray free-electron laser to observe light-induced structural changes in the photosynthetic reaction centre of Blastochloris...
