Vibronic Reorganization Suppresses Salinixanthin-to-Retinal Energy Transfer in the Freshwater Kin4B8 Xanthorhodopsin
state and its large reorganization energy, which drastically reduce donor-acceptor spectral overlap. These results demonstrate that, in this system, donor vibronic relaxation, rather than geometry or electronic coupling, is the decisive factor suppressing EET.
