Light-induced changes in photosensory proteins

(Charit é - Universit ä tsmedizin Berlin) Researchers from Charit é -- Universit ä tsmedizin Berlin have been able to demonstrate how, on a molecular level, a specific protein allows light signals to be converted into cellular information. Their findings have broadened our understanding of the way how plants and bacteria adapt to changes in light conditions, which regulate essential processes, such as photosynthesis. Their research has been published in the current issue of Nature Communications*.
