Question:

In light-harvesting complexes, the fluorescence of a chlorophyll molecule is quenched by nearby chlorophyll molecules. Given that for a pair of chlorophyll a molecules Ra = 5.6 nm, by what distance should two chlorophyll a molecules be separated to shorten the fluorescence lifetime from 1 ns (a typical value for monomeric chlorophyll a in organic solvents) to 10 ps?
