ACT photosynthetic exciton transfer
YES for the tuned antenna complex.
NO for the detuned, strongly decohered contrast complex.
The tuned complex can sample exciton pathways coherently, use vibronically assisted transfer, and exploit short-lived quantum assistance along a downhill route to the reaction center. That makes efficient exciton transfer and reaction-center delivery possible in this case. The detuned contrast complex lacks the same alignment: coherent pathway sampling is blocked, vibronic assistance is unavailable, and the energy landscape is mismatched, so efficient reaction-center delivery is not possible in the same operating picture.
C1 OK - the tuned complex can sample exciton pathways coherently
C2 OK - the tuned complex can use vibronically assisted transfer
C3 OK - short-lived quantum assistance is enough in the tuned downhill regime
C4 OK - efficient exciton transfer is possible in the tuned complex
C5 OK - the tuned complex can deliver excitation to the reaction center
C6 OK - the detuned complex cannot sample pathways coherently
C7 OK - the detuned complex cannot use vibronically assisted transfer
C8 OK - the detuned complex cannot achieve directed reaction-center transfer
C9 OK - the detuned complex cannot achieve efficient exciton transfer
C10 OK - the detuned complex cannot deliver excitation efficiently to the reaction center
