Abstract
Anomalously high values of photoinduced absorption changes were revealed in the antenna of photosynthetic purple bacteria. They were found to be 4–16 times greater at the bleaching peak of the antenna than at the bleaching peak of the BChl dimer of the reaction center. This is direct proof of excitation delocalization over many pigment molecules. Calculations according to the model of exciton delocalization over all core antenna BChls allow one to explain the observed phenomenon.
