Abstract excerpt
The blue light photoreceptor phototropin mediates crucial processes in plants leading to optimization of photosynthesis. Phototropin comprises two flavin mononucleotide-binding LOV (light-, oxygen-, or voltage-sensitive) domains. The LOV domains undergo a photocycle upon illumination, in which two intermediates have been detected by UV/Vis spectroscopy. The triplet excited state of flavin is formed and decays...
