Pathways of energy transfer in LHCII revealed by room-temperature 2D electronic spectroscopy by Wells, Kym L., Lambrev, Petar H., Zhang, Zhengyang, Garab, Gyözö, Tan, Howe-Siang

“…Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy has been used to study energy transfer dynamics in LHCII trimers from the chlorophyll b Qy band to the chlorophyll a Qy band. Observing cross-peak regions corresponding to couplings between different excitonic states reveals partially resolved fine structure at the exciton level that cannot be isolated by pump–probe or linear spectroscopy measurements alone. …”
