Figure 4. CLA606 is the most probable site for the excitation in the RC.

Figure 4

(a) Probability of each cofactor in the local excited states at 300 K revealed by the exciton model. The probabilities (Pm) are calculated as weighed sum of each cofactor’s contributions to all the excited states (M) obtained by the exciton model (see equation 2). (b) Exciton matrix (unit: meV) built from 300 K MD simulations. The diagonal terms are the average site energies for the cofactors and the off-diagonal terms correspond to the strengths of the coupling. (c) Comparison between the excitation probabilities of the cofactors at 300 K (dark grey) and those at 77 K (white stripes).
