Abstract excerpt
We show by way of physical organic reasoning that the currently known photochemical results of the chromophore of photoactive yellow protein (PYP) are consistent with that expected of a least volume-demanding process for an anchored, tethered chromophore. The primary photoreaction, interestingly, does not appear to involve a hula-twist process. However, the latter might be involved during subsequent transition of...
