Photosynthesis is the primary energy production process of ecosystem.Throughout the green plants, two different types of chlorophylls, Chl-a and -b,are bound to the light-harvesting complex for photosystem II. While thestructure and functional characteristics of the two types of chlorophylls havebeen well documented as individual, the features of the coexistence has yet tobe understood clearly. Here, we present a principled framework for discerningand quantifying the chlorophylls' role during the excited energy transfer. Ourapproach combines network science and Monte Carlo Markov analysis based on theFoerster resonance energy transfer rates between all the chlorophyll pairs inthe light-harvesting antennae for photosystem II. We find that the excitationenergy can be rapidly confined to the specific chlorophyll clusters in thelight-harvesting complex, where excess energy dissipation possibly takes place,only when both chlorophyll species are involved. Comparing to other models withhypothetical chlorophyll compositions, we show that the light harvesting systemwith natural chlorophyll a and b ratio is the most advantageous for thephotosystem II supercomplex to balance the light-harvesting and photoprotectioncapabilities.
