Simulation of energy migration processes in a photosynthetic unit as dependent on the number of spectral forms of Chlorophyll a and the spatial arrangement of pigment molecules

The effect of the structural organization on the energy migration efficiency in a light-collecting antenna (LCA) has been studied by numerical modeling. It is concluded that for an ordered mutual arrangement of Chlorophyll a molecules in an LCA, the rate of energy migration along the photosynthetic unit antenna can markedly exceed that for a random arrangement of the pigment molecules.
