Exploring Biological Quantum Effects in Photosynthesis across Varied Spatial Scales
612 (∼5.6 to 6 Å). (3) Macroscale quantum design in membrane architecture. The optimal size of intracytoplasmic membrane vesicles is regulated by quantum design principles in the LH2 structure, where the structural robustness and excitonic coherence of LH2 are preserved only within an evolutionarily optimized vesicle size range (50-80 nm).
