Energy-dependent quenching adjusts the excitation diffusion length to regulate photosynthetic light harvesting
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Plants’ photosynthetic mechanism adjusts to fluctuations in light intensity. Intermittent bright sunlight can damage light-harvesting proteins; to preempt this, plants dissipate excess absorbed excitation energy as heat. Energy-dependent quenching (qE) of excitations occurs on the seconds to minutes timescale through conformational changes in antenna proteins. Using a multiscale model of photosystem II, we show that changes in light harvesting due to qE can be explained using a single parameter, the excitation diffusion length, which decreases as qE activates. These findings have implications for the interpretation of pulse amplitude-modulated fluorescence, a common noninvasive measurement of photosynthetic activity in leaves.

The 2D tryptophan photoexcitation diffusion length of 6.64 nm is surprisingly high in microtubules given their structural roles and the chlorophyll a equivalent value of 20-80 nm.
“The two-dimensional tryptophan photoexcitation diffusion length of 6.64 nm is surprisingly high in microtubules, given that they are optimized to play structural roles in the cell and that the equivalent value for chlorophyll a, which is optimized for electronic energy transfer, is only 20–80 nm.”

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.
