Ultrafast light-induced response of photoactive yellow protein chromophore analogues (2007)

Espagne, Agathe, Paik, Daniel H., Changenet-Barret, Pascale, Plaza, Pascal, Martin, Monique M., Zewail, Ahmed H.

The fluorescence decays of several analogues of the photoactive yellow protein (PYP) chromophore in aqueous solution have been measured by femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion and the corresponding...

Circular Dichroism of the Photoreceptor Pigment Oxyblepharismin (2005)

Osvaldo Pieroni, Pascal Plaza, Mathilde Mahet, Nicola Angelini, Giovanni Checcucci, Manuela Malatesta, ...

Circular dichroism (CD) was used to study the structure of oxyblepharismin (OxyBP), the photoreceptor chromophore for the photophobic response of the blue form of Blepharisma japonicum. Both the...
