Photosynthesis process starts with light harvesting, where special pigment - protein complexes absorb sunlight and transfer it in the form of electronic excitation to reaction centers with high efficiency (50-90 %). Some believe that the secret of cheap and efficient solar energy may be uncovered by studying the light-harvesting machinery, which have been optimized during millions of years of evolution through photosynthesis. Contributing in understanding the physical principles and interactions, which underlie the energy transfer process in the light-harvesting complexes PC645 and PC612 using different experimental approaches is the primary topic of this thesis.
