18. From transient hole burning studies at 4 K an electron-transfer time of 1.9 ps was estimated. Latest transient absorption measurements yield a 7 ps and a slower 50 ps transfer time for the primary electron transfer. The simulation of photon echo experiments revealed a distribution of effective charge-transfer times ranging from 1.5 ps to a few nanoseconds.

51. This approximation assumes that the vibrational relaxation in the excitonic potential energy surfaces is fast and neglects certain coherent contributions (e.g., ref 51) to the pump-probe signal.

56. The Markovian curves in Figures 8 and 9 are identical except for a 0.5 nm shift of the COP curve to shorter wavelengths resulting from the 0.5 nm difference in site energies in the two calculations.

60. More structural parameters than just the spatial distance between the two pigments may be important. The correlation radius is likely to to be a function of the frequency of the normal modes, since high-frequency modes can be expected to be more localized.
61. (a) The electron density of the porphyrins in ref 2 did allow the resolution of the planes of the porphyrins. However, only little structure could be resolved inside the plain, the asymmetry for the electron density of the two pheophytins being somewhat greater than for the rest of the pigments. Therefore, there is no direct structural information available yet on the geometry of optical transition dipoles (P. Fromme, private communication).
62. (b) A 180° rotation of any transition dipole would not change the optical spectra calculated here, but would lead to some sign changes in Table 1.

66. The PS-2 reaction center cannot use carotenoids for photoprotection (quenching of chlorophyll triplet states) because its high redox potential would lead to an oxidation of the carotenoids. Because of the shallow trap, however, some of the excitations will escape the reaction center and the subsequently occurring triplet states can be quenched by the carotenoids in the antennae (J. Barber, private communication).
