Abstract

Natural photosynthetic systems utilize quantum coherent effects to enhance energy transfer efficiency when light-harvesting molecules are closely interacting. These natural photosynthetic complexes enable molecular packing and interaction by precise scaffolding within a protein environment. We compare these natural photosynthetic systems to light-harvesting systems which utilize synthetic DNA nanotechnology. DNA nanotechnology enables a similar level of control of molecular interactions when using rational attachment of photoactive dyes to DNA scaffolding.
