Abstract
The adequacy of various molecular models of pigment organization in ch lorosomal light-harvesting antenna is evaluated by the criterion of th e match in the exciton structure between model and natural antennae. N one of the earlier models meets this criterion and, moreover, none of them in principle can reflect the organization of an optimal antenna. A novel molecular model is proposed for cylindrical assembly of chloro somal pigments, which is consistent with all experimental data availab le.
