Bad vibrations: Quantum tunnelling in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Betony Adams, Ilya Sinayskiy, Rienk van Grondelle +1
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has added new urgency to the study of viral mechanisms of infection. But while vaccines offer a measure of protection against this specific outbreak, a new…
Quieting a noisy antenna reproduces photosynthetic light harvesting spectra
Trevor B. Arp, Jed Kistner-Morris, Vivek Aji +3
Photosynthesis is remarkable, achieving near unity light harvesting quantum efficiency in spite of dynamic light conditions and noisy physiological environment. Under these adverse…
Mechanistic Regimes of Vibronic Transport in a Heterodimer and the Design Principle of Incoherent Vibronic Transport in Phycobiliproteins
Doran I. G. Bennett, Pavel Maly, Christoph Kreisbeck +2
Following the observation of coherent oscillations in non-linear spectra of photosynthetic pigment protein complexes, particularly phycobilliprotein such as PC645, coherent vibroni…
A quantum protective mechanism in photosynthesis
Adriana Marais, Ilya Sinayskiy, Francesco Petruccione +1
Since the emergence of oxygenic photosynthesis, living systems have developed protective mechanisms against reactive oxygen species. During charge separation in photosynthetic reac…
On the perfomance of a photosystem II reaction centre-based photocell
Richard Stones, Hoda Hossein-Nejad, Rienk van Grondelle +1
The photosystem II reaction centre is the photosynthetic complex responsible for oxygen production on Earth. Its water splitting function is particularly favoured by the formation…
Design principles of natural light harvesting as revealed by single molecule spectroscopy
Tjaart P. J. Krüger, Rienk van Grondelle
Biology offers a boundless source of adaptation, innovation, and inspiration. A wide range of photosynthetic organisms exist that are capable of harvesting solar light in an except…
Single Molecule Spectroscopy of Monomeric LHCII: Experiment and Theory
Pavel Malý, J. Michael Gruber, Rienk van Grondelle +1
We derive approximate equations of motion for excited state dynamics of a multilevel open quantum system weakly interacting with light to describe fluorescence detected single mole…
Ultrafast Energy Relaxation in Single Light-Harvesting Complexes
Pavel Malý, J. Michael Gruber, Richard J. Cogdell +2
Energy relaxation in light-harvesting complexes has been extensively studied by various ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, the fastest processes being in the sub-100 fs range. At…
