✦ Synopsis

Among his many contributions to photosynthesis, William Arnold made critical suggestions about the mechanism of the initial stages of excitation energy transfer and its measurement. Thus he helped found not only the general concept of the photosynthetic unit but also the key idea behind the detailed functional aspects of its 'chlorophyll antenna'. We review the development of these ideas and the modern form in which they have emerged.

The development and organization of the Photosynthetic units follow a step-wise assembly process. First the core complexes of the PSI and PSII units are formed, followed by their light-harvesting components; then an assembly process of these components into supramolecular structures takes place.

Numerical experiments were carried out to determine the timewise self-consistency of different physical processes involved in the energy transfer in green plant photosynthecc units. A 6 X 6 X 6 array of chlorophyll-a with cubic lattice constants a = b = c = 20 A was chosen as a model of the thylakoi
