Light harvesting complex II B850 excitation dynamics.
The dynamics of excitation energy transfer within the B850 ring of light harvesting complex 2 from Rhodobacter sphaeroides and between neighboring B850 rings is investigated by means of dissipative quantum mechanics. The assumption of Boltzmann populated donor states for the calculation of intercomplex excitation transfer rates by generalized Forster theory is shown to give accurate results sin...
متن کاملDynamics of excitation energy transfer in the LH1 and LH2 light-harvesting complexes of photosynthetic bacteria.
Photosynthetic light harvesting is a unique life process that occurs with amazing efficiency. Since the discovery of the structure of the bacterial peripheral light-harvesting complex (LH2), this process has been studied using a variety of advanced laser spectroscopic methods. We are now in a position to discuss the physical origins of excitation energy transfer and trapping in the LH2 and LH1 ...
متن کاملHighly efficient energy excitation transfer in light-harvesting complexes: The fundamental role of noise-assisted transport
Excitation transfer through interacting systems plays an important role in many areas of physics, chemistry, and biology. The uncontrollable interaction of the transmission network with a noisy environment is usually assumed to deteriorate its transport capacity, especially so when the system is fundamentally quantum mechanical. Here we identify key mechanisms through which noise such as dephas...
متن کاملPhysical Principles of Efficient Excitation Transfer in Light Harvesting
After light absorption the primary process in light harvesting is the transfer of excitation to a reaction center which facilitates a separation of charge across a cell membrane. The physical principles underlying excitation transfer are explained. Theoretical methods for the description of the excitation migration process, including an expansion for excitation lifetime in terms of repeated tra...
متن کاملObservation of Electronic Excitation Transfer through Light Harvesting Complex II Using Two-dimensional Electronic-vibrational Spectroscopy.
Light Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) serves a central role in light harvesting for oxygenic photosynthesis, and is arguably the most important photosynthetic antenna complex. In this work, we present two-dimensional electronic-vibrational (2DEV) spectra of LHCII isolated from spinach, demonstrating the possibility of using this technique to track the transfer of electronic excitation energy betw...
