Abstract

Excitation energy transfer and trapping by the artificially postulated traps in photosystem II (PSII) were modeled in terms of a coarse-grained model. The model is based on the assumption that the excitation energy transfer within a pigment–protein complex is much faster than the intercomplex excitation energy transfer. As a result, the excitation energy transfer and trapping rates by the reaction center (RC) were rescaled by the relevant entropic factors and an additional trapping rate for a specific pigment–protein complex responsible for the non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) had to be included into the theoretical framework. For the analysis, dimeric models of PSII were considered. The efficiency of the excitation quenching by the NPQ traps, depending on their positioning and on the trapping rate, was analyzed. It was concluded that the highest efficiency of the NPQ quencher could be achieved when they are localized in the major light-harvesting complexes, LHCII, and the excitation relaxation in this state is fast, of the order of picoseconds and even faster. The origin of the state responsible for NPQ is discussed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
