Description

Full text: Water-oxidisation in plants occurs in super complexes that contain a catalytic core and various light-harvesting complexes (LHCII, CP24, CP26 and CP29). We applied our combined quantum chemical / electrostatic approach to calculate the exciton Hamiltonian of LHCII and CP29 on the basis of the known crystal structures in order to gain a molecular understanding of light-harvesting. Simulations of linear optical spectra allow us to assess the validity of the computed quantities. The two homologous complexes LHCII and CP29 are compared with respect to the location of the terminal emitter domain and the pigment-protein interactions that lead to specific transition energy shifts.
