Blue-light induced accumulation of reactive oxygen species is a consequence of the Drosophila cryptochrome photocycle.

Blue-light induced accumulation of reactive oxygen species is a consequence of the Drosophila cryptochrome photocycle.

Cryptochromes are evolutionarily conserved blue-light absorbing flavoproteins which participate in many important cellular processes including in entrainment of the circadian clock in plants, Drosophila and humans. Drosophila melanogaster cryptochrome (DmCry) absorbs light through a flavin (FAD) cof...
