Single Molecule Fluorescence Spectroscopy of PSI Trimers from Arthrospira platensis: A Computational Approach.

ABSTRACT: Based on single molecule spectroscopy analysis and our preliminary theoretical studies, the linear and fluorescence spectra of the PSI trimer from Arthrospira platensis with different realizations of the static disorder were modeled at cryogenic temperature. Considering the previously calculated spectral density of chlorophyll, an exciton model for the PSI monomer and trimer including the red antenna states was developed taking into account the supposed similarity of PSI antenna structures from Thermosynechococcus e., Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, and Arthrospira platensis. The red Chls in the PSI monomer were assumed to be in the nearest proximity of the reaction center. The PSI trimer model allowed the simulation of experimentally measured zero phonon line distribution of the red states con
