Coherent wavepackets in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex are robust to excitonic-structure perturbations caused by mutagenesis

The photosynthetic FMO complex is probed by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy and compared with a series of genetically modified mutants with distinct excitonic interactions. These experiments allow us to identify vibrational contributions to the coherence.
