Abstract excerpt
We have employed the QM(CASPT2//CASSCF)/MM method to explore the excited-state isomerization and decay mechanism of a single-bond-rotation locked photoactive yellow protein (PYP) chromophore in wild-type and mutant proteins. The S1 state is a spectroscopically bright state in the Franck-Condon region. In this state, there exist two excited-state isomerization pathways separately related to the clockwise and...
