In our work, we review the advancements developed so far in the atomistic modeling of the broad family of multichromophoric biosystems, ranging from light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes to nucleic acids. By using a quantum chemical point of view, we highlight differences and similarities with the single chromophore treatment and we finally outline the important limitations and challenges that still need to be tackled to reach a complete and accurate picture of their photoinduced properties and dynamics.
