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

“…</p> <p>Using a range of complementary techniques, this thesis aims to elucidate protein conformational changes as the first step in signal transduction in several cryptochrome species finding similar changes in the same loop regions across multiple proteins, tackled the question whether a functional dimer might exist in the context of magnetoreception and found two important residues involved in dimerisation, and lastly used the finding that this dimerisation process is light-induced to start investigating the interaction surfaces in these dimeric structures.…”
