Figure 5.

Fitting of the room-temperature absorption (A) and fluorescence excitation spectra (B) of recombinant Lhcb5 with the spectra of individual pigments in the protein matrix. Only the data from the sample reconstituted with Lx are shown. C, Energy transfer efficiency calculated for the transfer from Chl b to Chl a (Chl b → Chl a) and from xanthophylls to Chl a (Xanth → Chl a) based on the deconvoluted models of the absorption and the fluorescence excitation spectra. The energy transfer efficiency among Chl a molecules (Chl a → Chl a) was fixed to be 100%.
