A LOVely view of blue light photosensing

Wen-Huang Ko1, Abigail I Nash1 & Kevin H Gardner1

  1. Wen-Huang Ko, Abigail I. Nash and Kevin H. Gardner are in the Departments of Biochemistry and Pharmacology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Blvd., Dallas, Texas 75390-8816, USA. e-mail: kevin.gardner@utsouthwestern.edu

A combination of structural and functional data provides insight into the mechanism used by the blue light photosensory protein Vivid to convert the light-driven formation of a protein-flavin bond into a conformational change in the surrounding protein.
