Environmental impact on the molecular state of charge

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Social Fund (ESF)) under the programme EU Structural Funds Investments - LT - ERDF/ESF/CF/YEI (2014LT16MAOP001), managing authority: Finansų ministerija. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Vilnius County (NUTS LT011); Lithuania. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 1,770.14; EU co-financing EUR 1,770.14 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2021-07-05 to 2021-08-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): Molecular Load Transfer (CT) states play an important role in the process of photosynthesis: they are associated with certain changes in the fluorescence spectra of light-hand complexes and non-photochemical quenching of fluorescence. Microscopic modelling is needed to further clarify the molecular nature of these phenomena and the potential role of CT states. The objective of this project is based on the crystallographic structure of the plant’s main photosynthetic light-hand complexes, quantum chemistry to calculate the excitated states of various chlorophyll dimers and to determine how the inclusion of protein environment changes the energy status of the established CT states. It is expected that the results of this project will be used in the future to prepare a scientific publication. In this way, it can be expected that these results will also provide answers to the more fundamental questions addressed by many laboratories working on photosynthesis in the world: whether the red form and fluorescence quench observed in the spectroscopic measurements of LHCII aggregates can in principle be associated with the formation of CT states between chlorophyll pigments.
