Abstract
A theory of hole burning in the antenna of photosynthetic purple bacte ria has been developed. The theory is based on the model of excitation delocalization over the circular aggregate of pigment molecules (DCA model). A good agreement between the theoretical spectra and experimen tal hole profiles for purple bacteria was obtained. The advantages of the DCA model for interpretation of spectral and kinetic data are disc ussed.
