Abstract

Absorption and CD spectra of a photosynthetic bacterial antenna complex are calculated on the basis of the crystal structure of the LH2 (B800-850) complex from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila . This complex contains a ring of 18 tightly coupled bacteriochlorophylls (B850) and a ring of 9 more weakly coupled bacteriochlorophylls (B800). Molecular orbitals for bacteriochlorophylls with the three different geometries seen in the crystal structure are obtained by semiempirical quantum mechanical calculations (QCFF/PI). Exciton and charge-transfer interactions are introduced at the level of configuration interactions. Particular attention is paid to the dependence of these interactions on the interatomic distances and on dielectric screening. Absorption band shapes are treated with the aid of vibronic parameters and homogeneous line widths that have been measured by hole burning (Reddy, N. R. S., et al., Photochem. Photobiol. 1993, 57, 35−39). Inhomogeneous broadening due to diagonal disorder in the monomeric and charge-transfer transition energies is included by a Monte Carlo method. The calculations successfully reproduce the main features of measured absorption and CD spectra of the complex. The results support the view that the excited states of the B850 bacteriochlorophylls are extensively delocalized over the ring of pigments while the excited states of the B800 bacteriochlorophylls are much more localized.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
