The Origin of the Low-Energy Form of Photosystem I Light-Harvesting Complex Lhca4: Mixing of the Lowest Exciton with a Charge-Transfer State

TL;DR: The electric field-induced absorption changes (Stark effect) on the Q(y) region of the Lhca4 complex is reported and the high value of the Deltamu demonstrates that the origin of the red-shifted emission is the mixing of the lowest exciton state with a charge-transfer state of the dimer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy transfer in the major intrinsic light-harvesting complex from Amphidinium carterae.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the properties of the S1/ICT state specific for carbonyl carotenoids is the key to ensure the effective harvesting of photons in the 500-600 nm region, which is of vital importance to underwater organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary reactions of the LOV2 domain of phototropin studied with ultrafast mid-infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemistry.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the FMN T1 state remains nonprotonated on a nanosecond timescale, which rules out an ionic mechanism for covalent adduct formation involving cysteine-N(5) proton transfer on this timescale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetics of excitation trapping in intact Photosystem I of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: It is concluded that the amount and energies of the red chlorophylls have a larger effect on excitation trapping time in Photosystem I than the antenna size.
