Abstract excerpt
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is a bacterial blue light photoreceptor, and photoexcitation of dark-state PYP (PYP(dark)) triggers a photocycle that involves several intermediate states. We report the ultraviolet resonance Raman spectra of PYP with 225-250 nm excitations and investigate protein structural changes accompanying the formation of the putative signaling state denoted PYP(M). The PYP(M)-PYP(dark)...
