Fig. 6. (a) Absorption spectra of Ctx and Rdx in benzene. Thick-faint lines correspond to the measurement, thin lines represent fitting. (b) Internal energy as function of temperature. (c) Schematic representation of the FSS as a cylindrical mesh. Highlighted are the segments of a carotenoid chosen for RDF calculation. The inset shows RDF of an end group of Ctx as obtained from the MD simulation. Red line corresponds to the Savitzky–Golay smoothing for the extraction of FSS radius.
