Abstract
The photo-reaction of the LOV1 domain of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii phototropin is investigated by room-temperature time-resolved serial crystallography. A covalent adduct forms between the C4a atom of the central flavin-mononucleotide chromophore and a protein cysteine. The structure of the adduct is very similar to that of LOV2 determined 23 years ago from the maidenhair fern Phy3.
期刊介绍:
IUCrJ is a new fully open-access peer-reviewed journal from the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr).
The journal will publish high-profile articles on all aspects of the sciences and technologies supported by the IUCr via its commissions, including emerging fields where structural results underpin the science reported in the article. Our aim is to make IUCrJ the natural home for high-quality structural science results. Chemists, biologists, physicists and material scientists will be actively encouraged to report their structural studies in IUCrJ.
