Abstract excerpt
Changes in the hydrogen-bond (HB) network around the chromophore, p-coumaric acid (pCA), in the ground pG and excited pG* states were investigated for wild type (WT) photoactive yellow protein (PYP) and its mutants using ultraviolet resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy. The intensity depletion of Tyr UVRR bands was observed upon photoexcitation of pCA to the pG* state. The spectral change was ascribed to...
