42. A lower limit only is obtained for the difference absorption coefficient Ac because the radical pair even at 300 ps is not populated to 100% due to efficient back reaction to the excited state. A more exact value can be obtained after proper kinetic modeling.
43. In the calculations and discussion of the data from the group of Klug et al. we refer to their most recent data set measured under magic angle conditions."
44. A preliminary account of these data has been given at the ESF Workshop on"Structure and Function of the D1-D2 reaction center complex". Wye College, England, April 1995.
45. We should like to note that an increase in excitation intensity is not mentioned in the work of Hastings et al.9 and that the authors claim that the intensity has not been increased as compared to the measurements in the Q, range (J. Durrant, private communication).
