The method of probability matrices taking into account the modern data on the structure of light-harvesting complexes of the photosystem II in higher plants has been used to calculate the fluorescence kinetics for two models with different structures of chlorophyll-protein complexes. In both models, the open and closed type reaction centers are described by single-exponent fluorescence decay curves. The fiuorescence lifetime of a closed center is 1.5 to 2.8 times that of an open one.
