| Abstract: | The diagram method for the calculation of entropy production and efficiency associated with very first steps of photosynthetic mechanism is developed. By using one simple model for the bacteriorhodopsin light activated proton pump action, it is shown that in the steady state of biological interest, both entropy production and efficiency of transfer of light energy are maximal for the same optimal values of kinetic constants. |
