Nature does not rely on long-lived electronic quantum coherence for photosynthetic energy transfer

Journal Article Duan, Hong-Guang ; Prokhorenko, Valentyn I. ; Cogdell, Richard J. ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

During the first steps of photosynthesis, the energy of impinging solar photons is transformed into electronic excitation energy of the light-harvesting biomolecular complexes. The subsequent energy transfer to the reaction center is commonly rationalized in terms of excitons moving on a grid of biomolecular chromophores on typical timescales <100 fs. Today’s understanding of the energy transfer includes the fact that the excitons are delocalized over a few neighboring sites, but the role of quantum coherence is considered as irrelevant for the transfer dynamics because it typically decays within a few tens of femtoseconds. This orthodox picture of incoherent energy transfermore »« less

Absence of Selection for Quantum Coherence in the Fenna–Matthews–Olson Complex: A Combined Evolutionary and Excitonic Study

Journal Article Valleau, Stéphanie ; Studer, Romain A. ; Häse, Florian ; ... - ACS Central Science

We present a study on the evolution of the Fenna–Matthews–Olson bacterial photosynthetic pigment–protein complex. This protein complex functions as an antenna. It transports absorbed photons—excitons—to a reaction center where photosynthetic reactions initiate. The efficiency of exciton transport is therefore fundamental for the photosynthetic bacterium’s survival. We have reconstructed an ancestor of the complex to establish whether coherence in the exciton transport was selected for or optimized over time. We have also investigated the role of optimizing free energy variation upon folding in evolution. We studied whether mutations which connect the ancestor to current day species were stabilizing or destabilizing frommore »« less

Energy transfer and spatial scrambling of an exciton in a conjugated dendrimer

Journal Article Ondarse-Alvarez, D. ; Oldani, N. ; Roitberg, A. E. ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP (Print)

Photoexcitation of multichromophoric light harvesting molecules induces a number of intramolecular electronic energy relaxation and redistribution pathways that can ultimately lead to ultrafast exciton self-trapping on a single chromophore unit.
