We discuss the principles of optimal charge separation processes in bacterial reaction centers. Non-adiabatic electron transfer (ET) theory is combined with a Darwinian optimization. Our results reveal that the ET cascade is stable with respect to severe perturbations in the last ET step to maintain efficient charge separation.
