Title: Unraveling electronic absorption spectra using nuclear quantum effects: Photoactive yellow protein and green fluorescent protein chromophores in water

Abstract

Many physical phenomena must be accounted for to accurately model solution-phase optical spectral line shapes, from the sampling of chromophore-solvent configurations to the electronic-vibrational transitions leading to vibronic fine structure. Here we thoroughly explore the role of nuclear quantum effects, direct and indirect solvent effects, and vibronic effects in the computation of the optical spectrum of the aqueously solvated anionic chromophores of green fluorescent protein and photoactive yellow protein. By analyzing the chromophore and solvent configurations, the distributions of vertical excitation energies, the absorption spectra computed within the ensemble approach, and the absorption spectra computed within the ensemble plus zero-temperature Franck-Condon approach, we show how solvent, nuclear quantum effects, and vibronic transitions alter the optical absorption spectra. We find that including nuclear quantum effects in the sampling of chromophore-solvent configurations using ab initio path integral molecular dynamics simulations leads to improved spectral shapes through three mechanisms. The three mechanisms that lead to line shape broadening and a better description of the high-energy tail are softening of heavy atom bonds in the chromophore that couple to the optically bright state, widening the distribution of vertical excitation energies from more diverse solvation environments, and redistributing spectral weight from the 0-0 vibronic transitionmore » to higher energy vibronic transitions when computing the Franck-Condon spectrum in a frozen solvent pocket. The absorption spectra computed using the combined ensemble plus zero-temperature Franck-Condon approach yield significant improvements in spectral shape and width compared to the spectra computed with the ensemble approach. Using the combined approach with configurations sampled from path integral molecular dynamics trajectories presents a significant step forward in accurately modeling the absorption spectra of aqueously solvated chromophores.« less
