Three Pulse Echo Peak Shift Measurements and ab initio Excited State Calculations of Photosynthetic Light Harvesting Function
نویسنده
چکیده
The analysis of three pulse echo peak shift (3PEPS) data for LHI of Rhodobacter sphaeroides is discussed in comparison with that of the B820 subunit of Rhodospirillum rubrum. We report also ab initio molecular orbital (CIS/6-3IG*) calculations of electronic couplings for supermolecule subunits of the light harvesting 2 complex (LH2) of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila.

Excited state dynamics of chromophores in glasses and in photosynthetic proteins
The optical properties of molecules dissolved in glasses and ligated to proteins are very similar. The technique of three pulse stimulated photon echo peak shift is used to explore these properties. For dilute chromophores in a glass, a model of linear coupling to a harmonic bath combined with temperature-independent inhomogeneous broadening works well from 30 to 300 K. For concentrated chromop...
متن کاملProbing coherence in synthetic cyclic light-harvesting pigments.
A series of π-extended cyclic thiophene oligomers of 12, 18, 24, and 30 repeat units have been studied using methods of ultrafast time-resolved absorption, fluorescence upconversion, and three-pulse photon echo. These measurements were conducted in order to examine the structure-function relationships that may affect the coherence between chromophores within the organic macrocycles. Our results...
متن کاملEnergy transfer in light-harvesting complexes LHCII and CP29 of spinach studied with three pulse echo peak shift and transient grating.
Three pulse echo peak shift and transient grating (TG) measurements on the plant light-harvesting complexes LHCII and CP29 are reported. The LHCII complex is by far the most abundant light-harvesting complex in higher plants and fulfills several important physiological functions such as light-harvesting and photoprotection. Our study is focused on the light-harvesting function of LHCII and the ...
متن کاملThree pulse echo peak shift measurements on the B820 subunit of LH1 of Rhodospirillum rubrum
Ž . Three pulse photon echo peak shift measurements 3PEPS of the detergent isolated B820 subunit of the light harvesting complex of Rhodospirillum rubrum are presented and compared with 3PEPS data for the LH1 complex of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The comparison suggests that the 90 fs component of LH1 3PEPS is indeed the energy transfer component. The striking similarity between 3PEPS of LH1 and ...
