Abstract
Electronic excitation energies of a chromophore within a protein environment are not static quantities but fluctuate in time. This can be directly observed with the methods of single molecule spectroscopy. If instead an ensemble average is measured, then the relative time scales of measurement and fluctuations determine if an inhomogeneous distribution is observed or if the fluctuations lead to a homogeneous broadening. In this chapter, we discuss simple models [54–56], which are capable of describing the transition between these two limiting cases.
