Intramolecular charge-transfer enhances energy transfer efficiency in a carotenoid-reconstituted light-harvesting 1 complex of purple photosynthetic bacteria

In bacterial photosynthesis, the excitation energy transfer from carotenoids to bacteriochlorophyll a has a significant impact on the overall efficiency of the primary photosynthetic process. This efficiency can be enhanced when the involved carotenoid has intramolecular charge-transfer character.
