Abstract excerpt
The first event of photosynthesis is the harvesting of solar energy by a large array of pigments. These pigments are coordinated to proteins that organize them to assure efficient excitation energy transfer. The protein plays an essential role in tuning the spectroscopic properties of the pigments, by determining their site energy and/or by favoring pigment-pigments interactions. Here we investigate how the...
