Abstract excerpt
Phototropin (phot) is a blue-light receptor in plants. The molecule has two FMN (flavin mononucleotide)-binding domains named the LOV (light-oxygen-voltage) domain, that is a subset of a PAS (per-arnt-sim) superfamily. Illumination of phot-LOV domains produces a covalent C(4a) flavin-cysteinyl adduct, which is called the S390 intermediate state. According to the crystal structures of the LOV2 domain of Adiantum...
