Carotenoid-Chlorophyll Interactions in a Photosynthetic Antenna Protein: A Supramolecular QM/MM Approach

Carotenoid-Chlorophyll Interactions in a Photosynthetic Antenna Protein: A Supramolecular QM/MM Approach

Multichromophoric interactions control the initial events of energy capture and transfer in the light harvesting peridinin-chlorophyll a protein (PCP) from marine algae dinoflagellates. Due to the van der Waals association of the carotenoid peridinin (Per) with chlorophyll a in a unique 4:1 stoichio...
