Decay Associated Spectra (DAS) resulting from Global Analysis of fluorescence decay maps of isolated pigment binding complexes. 2D Streak camera maps were fitted with a multi-exponential decay function with a Global Analysis approach. The resulting wavelength dependent amplitudes, \({A}_{i}(\lambda )\), are referred to as Decay Associated Spectra (DAS), with each DAS being associated with an exponential decay constant, \({\tau }_{i}\). Decay Associated Spectra (DAS) of each sample are reported with associated decay constants indicated in the legend. Average fluorescence lifetimes for each sample is reported in brackets and calculated as ΣAiτi/ΣAi. Two exponential decay components were required to adequately fit the decay maps recorded for B2 and B3, whilst four were required for B4 and B5.
