Abstract

The aim of the present article is to review several biomolecules, the spectroscopic and structural properties of which have been so far interpreted in the light of the Jahn-Teller effect. Indeed the importance of the vibronic coupling in the interpretation of physical properties of molecules and crystals is widely recognized now, but only a desultory attention has been paid to the role played by such a coupling in biological systems. After a brief outline of the Jahn-Teller effect, the whole problem is critically re-examined separating the systems for which the experimental evidence of the Jahn-Teller effect is clear, from those where its effectiveness is still debated. Furthermore some suggestions are given for a proper inclusion of the vibronic coupling in future analysis on biomolecules.
