Abstract
We construct an ODE model for the fast fluorescence rise of photosynthesis by combining the current reaction scheme of the PS II two-electron-gate with a quasi steady-state description of the fast processes of excitation energy transfer and primary charge separation. The model is fitted to measured induction curves with a multiple shooting algorithm, and remarkably good approximations of the data are obtained. Model refinements are discussed focusing on PS II heterogeneity, and on PS I.
