The exciton dynamics in the FMO complex

[Ayoub EL-AMRANI]

TL;DR

can we treat the exciton in the FMO complex as a two level system to apply the Lindblad equation?

I want to study the coherence transfer of the excitation in the FMO complex, so I have to solve the Lindblad master equation. Can I treat my system as a two level system?

Can you give a specific reference? It would help to know what source you are working from.

in fact, I work with many reference, like Quantum effects in quantum biology
indeed I find some difficulties to apply the Lindblad equation on the FMO complex(it's protein contain 7 Bchls) so I wonder if I can treat each chlorophyll as a two system level ? or there's other way to describe the exciton dynamics in the FMO complex?
