Resumo

Excitation energies of the bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) chromophores embedded in the photosynthetic light-harvesting complex of the purple bacterium Thermochromatium tepidum are computed using the time-dependent density functional theory based upon the fragmental molecular orbital (FMO-TDDFT) method. The results are correlated with the empirically based estimates of the Qy absorption maximum, as well as with the observed large red shift induced by the binding of calcium.
