Fig. 2: Model of charge-separation quenching in LHCII.
From: Charge transfer from the carotenoid can quench chlorophyll excitation in antenna complexes of plants
a Scheme of charge separation in the Lut-Chl a dimers, highlighting the relevant parameters that determine the charge-separation rate. The energy minima of Qy and CT states, and the reorganization energy λ, are estimated from the energy fluctuations along the MD. b Coarse-grained kinetic model of excitation quenching. Numbers besides arrows indicate the inverse rate of the elementary steps. Downward-pointing arrows indicate irreversible decay to the ground state.
