Abstract: We performed first-principles calculations of the optical response of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) within a combined quantum-mechanical molecular-mechanics and time-dependent density functional theory approach. The computed spectra are in excellent agreement with experiments assuming the presence of two, protonated and deprotonated, forms of the photo-receptor in a ~4:1 ratio, which supports the conformation model of photo-dynamics in GFP. Furthermore, we discuss charge transfer, isomerization and environment effects. The present approach allows for systematic studies of excited state electron-ion dynamics in biological systems.
