Exciton is a term no longer used in biophysics. Instead, the designation "Resonance Energy Transfer" refers to the fact that photonic energy is transferred along several pigments without an electron being tranferred (donated to a receptor), as is the usual case. This situation is interpreted as serving to "funnel" photonic energy to the "central chlorophyll pair," which donates the energy-laden electron to the first cytochrome electron-receptor in the chain to generate NADP. The pigments acting in this peculiar way are considered to be "excited" by way of a electromagnetic mechanism.
Hi,
Can any body help me to get an idea about Z12 and Z3 excitons.
thanks in advance,
