Popis:	The Fenna-Matthews-Olson light-harvesting complexes have become a center of attention due to their high excitation energy transfer efficiency, which may surpass 98%. Experimental results reveal the presence of quantum entanglement in the protein structure, which seems to be associated to such a remarkably high efficiency. Notably, Redfield and Lindblad master equations have been already used to model the chromophore excitation in the protein complex as well as its interactions with the environment. The entanglement arising during the process has been quantified through several measures. This work provides a short review of methods used to model the above described system. It is also discussed the introduction of two nonconventional measures addresed to quantify the emergent entanglement.
