Figure 6

Representative structures of the boundary regimes of the excitation density control. A tilt of Luts with respect to Chls by less than 20° is sufficient to switch from the excitation energy preserving/light-harvesting mode (full orange structures) to the highly dissipative/quenching mode (transparent structures). The shown Lut structures correspond to the marginal angular values of Fig. 5c: the lower left corner (5.7°−9.2°, transparent) and the upper right corner \((({26.4}^{^\circ },{15.1}^{^\circ });\,J\approx 0;\,{\rm{full}}\,{\rm{color}})\).
