Abstract

We have probed the absorption changes due to an externally applied electric field (Stark effect) of Photosystem I (PSI) core complexes from the cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, Synechococcus elongatus and Spirulina platensis. The results reveal that the so-called C719 chlorophylls in S. elongatus and S. platensis are characterized by very large polarizability differences between the ground and electronically excited states (with Tr(Δα) values up to about 1000 Å
