Charge transfer from the carotenoid can quench chlorophyll excitation in antenna complexes of plants

The plant photosynthetic machinery quenches excess excitation energy to avoid photodamage. Here, via molecular dynamics and quantum chemical calculations, Cupellini et al. show that lutein/chlorophyll pairs in light-harvesting complex II can quench excess energy via a transient charge transfer state...
