Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…</p> <p>Two residues, C317 and C412, were found to play a role in light-induced dimerisation via disulphide bonding. To further investigate the interaction surface, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy was used, more specifically double electron-electron resonance, to complement the previously acquired data with cysteine-residue-dependent distance measurements using nitroxide spin labels. …”
