Lhca1 | 677.6 | 646.5 | 1017, 1026, 1031 |
Lhca2 | 678.6 | 646.9 | 1017, 1021, 1026, 1031, 1033 |
Lhca3 | 676.4 | 647.3 | 1031, 1032, 1033 |
Lhca4 | 676.2 | 646.9 | 1017, 1021, 1026, 1031, 1032, 1033 |

Energies are reported in corresponding wavelengths in nm. A uniform site energy value as stated in the table was assigned to all chlorophylls of a given type (a or b) within a given chain (i.e., Lhca1, Lhca2, Lhca3, and Lhca4), including the associated linker chlorophylls, with the exception of four specific chlorophylls; chlorophylls 1015 and 1025 in chains 3 and 4 are assigned a site energy of 695 nm rather than the stated uniform value for the other chlorophyll a units of the same chains. All Lhca chlorophylls are assumed to be chlorophyll a with the exception of the ones denoted in the table to be tentatively assigned to be chlorophyll b (see text). As a point of reference, the average site energy value for PSI core chlorophylls taken from the cyanobacterial model (38) is set to 678.8 nm. The site energy for non-conserved chlorophylls of the PSI core, including the gap chlorophylls, is also set to this uniform value. The values in this table were used for the results in Column C of Table 1.
