Photosynthesis is a highly optimized process from which valuable lessons can be learned
about the operating principles in nature. Its primary steps involve energy transport operating …

Biological pigment–protein complexes (PPCs) exhibit a remarkable ability to tune the optical
properties of biological excitons (bioexcitons) through specific pigment–protein interactions …

Femtosecond pulsed excitation of light-harvesting complexes creates oscillatory features in
their response. This phenomenon has inspired a large body of work aimed at uncovering the …

Multiscale molecular modeling is utilized to predict optical absorption and circular dichroism
spectra of two single-point mutants of the Fenna–Matthews–Olson photosynthetic pigment …

Photosynthetic green sulfur bacteria are able to survive under extreme low light conditions.
Nevertheless, the light-harvesting efficiencies reported so far, in particular for Fenna …

Hemicellulose is widely available in nature, is a sustainable resource and has a wide range
of applications. Among them, adsorption stands out for the removal of potentially toxic ions …

Fenna-Mathews-Olson complexes participate in the photosynthetic process of Sulfur Green
Bacteria. These biological subsystems exhibit quantum features which possibly are …

A conceptual problem of transfer theories that use a semiclassical description of the electron-
vibrational coupling is the neglect of the correlation between momenta and coordinates of …

Light absorbed by light-harvesting antennae is transferred to the reaction center (RC). The
excitation energy transfer (EET) to the RC is known to proceed with nearly perfect quantum …

Inhomogeneous broadening of optical lines of the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) light-
harvesting protein is investigated by combining a Monte Carlo sampling of low-energy …
