On the problem of directed signal transmission and energy transfer in molecular systems

  • Published:
Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

A new physical interpretation of the mechanism of directed energy transfer and signal transmission in molecular systems along one-dimensional chains capable of successive isomerization is proposed. The photoacceptor—transmitting chain—reaction center system is considered as a model. Conditions under which the directed energy transfer occurs from the photoacceptor to the reaction center along the chain are analyzed. The time of signal transmission depends on the chain length, and the transmission coefficient is mainly determined by the characteristics of the initial and final elements in the whole system.
