Conformational heterogeneity of the Pfr chromophore in plant and cyanobacterial phytochromes

Conformational heterogeneity of the Pfr chromophore in plant and cyanobacterial phytochromes

Phytochromes are biological photoreceptors that can be reversibly photoconverted between a dark and photoactivated state. The underlying reaction sequences are initiated by the photoisomerisation of the tetrapyrrole cofactor, which in plant and cyanobacterial phytochromes are a phytochromobilin (PB...
