Abstract
- The blue-light sensitive photoreceptor, phototropin, is a flavoprotein, which regulates the phototropism response of higher plants. The photoinduced triplet state and the photoreactivity of the flavin-mononucleotide (FMN) cofactor in two LOV domains are studied. The differences in the electronic structure of the FMN can be attributed to the changes in the amino-acid composition of the binding LOV1 and LOV2 domains.
