Kinetic limitations in turnover of photosynthetic bacterial reaction center protein
The membrane-bound reaction center from purple nonsulfur photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides performs light-induced charge separation and exports two molecules of oxidized cytochrome and one molecule of fully reduced quinone (quinol) from two opposite (periplasmic and cytoplasmic) sites of the protein during a single turnover. The rate of the turnover was measured based on cytochro...
متن کاملA First-Passage Kinetic Monte Carlo method for reaction-drift-diffusion processes
Stochastic reaction-diffusion models are now a popular tool for studying physical systems in which both the explicit diffusion of molecules and noise in the chemical reaction process play important roles. The Smoluchowski diffusion-limited reaction model (SDLR) is one of several that have been used to study biological systems. Exact realizations of the underlying stochastic processes described ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo and kinetic Monte Carlo methods – a tutorial
This article reviews the basic computational techniques for carrying out multiscale simulations using statistical methods, with the focus on simulations of epitaxial growth. First, the statistical-physics background behind Monte Carlo simulations is briefly described. The kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) method is introduced as an extension of the more wide-spread thermodynamic Monte Carlo methods, an...
متن کاملSynchronous parallel kinetic Monte Carlo for continuum diffusion-reaction systems
A novel parallel kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) algorithm formulated on the basis of perfect time synchronicity is presented. The algorithm is intended as a generalization of the standard w-fold kMC method, and is trivially implemented in parallel architectures. In its present form, the algorithm is not rigorous in the sense that boundary conflicts are ignored. We demonstrate, however, that, in thei...
متن کاملA multi-pathway model for photosynthetic reaction center.
Charge separation occurs in a pair of tightly coupled chlorophylls at the heart of photosynthetic reaction centers of both plants and bacteria. Recently it has been shown that quantum coherence can, in principle, enhance the efficiency of a solar cell, working like a quantum heat engine. Here, we propose a biological quantum heat engine (BQHE) motivated by Photosystem II reaction center (PSII R...
