 note = {A simple theoretical model of exciton dynamics was proposed to interpret the fast excitation energy-transfer process in the type I homodimeric reaction center of Heliobacterium modesticaldum (hRC); this structure was recently identified and shown to resemble that of the plant/cyanobacterial photosystem I (PSI) reaction center. The exciton state model, which mainly relies on the geometries of 54 bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) g, 4 BChl-g′, and 2 chlorophyll (Chl) a on hRC and assumes constant site energy values for the pigments, reproduced the absorption spectrum of hRC rather well. The model also enabled numerical analysis of the exciton dynamics on hRC, which can be compared with the decay-associated spectra obtained by the laser spectroscopy experiments. The model indicates that the stronger transition–dipole moment on BChl-g contributes to the faster energy transfer due to the higher coherency of the delocalized exciton states on hRC compared to that on PSI that arranges Chl-a at almost homologous locations., ファイル公開：2019-12-20},
