Revisiting the optical properties of the FMO protein.
We review the optical properties of the FMO complex as found by spectroscopic studies of the Q ( y ) band over the last two decades. This article emphasizes the different methods used, both experimental and theoretical, to elucidate the excitonic structure and dynamics of this pigment-protein complex.
