The entanglement of excitation energy transfer and electron transfer in the reaction centre of photosystem II

Abstract
The primary processes of the photosystem II reaction centre involve both ultrafast energy and electron transfers. In this paper we present some of our recent studies aimed at experimentally distinguishing and characterizing these processes. These experimental studies demonstrate significant differences between the behaviour of this photosystem and that of the purple bacteria. We also consider the results of calculations of the primary processes of PS II, and find that these numerical studies have been successful not only in simulating existing experimental data, but in predicting the results of subsequent experimental studies which are also presented here.
