Excitation Energy Transfer Pathways in Lhca4

ABSTRACT

EET in reconstituted Lhca4, a peripheral light-harvesting complex from Photosystem I of Arabidopsis thaliana, containing 10 chlorophylls and 2 carotenoids, was studied at room temperature by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Two spectral forms of Lut were observed in the sites L1 and L2, characterized by significantly different interactions with nearby chlorophyll a molecules. A favorable interpretation of these differences is that the efficiency of EET to Chls is about two times lower from the "blue" Lut in the site L1 than from the "red" Lut in the site L2 due to fast IC in the former case. A major part of the energy absorbed by the "red" Lut, ~60%-70%, is …
