Sensory photoreceptors underpin light-dependent adaptations of organismal physiology,
development, and behavior in nature. Adapted for optogenetics, sensory photoreceptors …

Small-angle scattering of X-rays (SAXS) is an established method for the low-resolution
structural characterization of biological macromolecules in solution. The technique provides …

We developed a light-switchable transgene system based on a synthetic, genetically
encoded light-switchable transactivator. The transactivator binds promoters upon blue-light …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were prepared by the homogeneous mixing of continuous flows
of an aqueous tetrachloroauric acid solution and a sodium borohydride solution applying a …

The Light-Oxygen-Voltage domain family of proteins is widespread in biology where they
impart sensory responses to signal transduction domains. The small, light responsive LOV …

Cells are bombarded by extrinsic signals that dynamically change in time and space. Such
dynamic variations can exert profound effects on behaviors, including cellular signaling …

Sensory photoreceptors not only control diverse adaptive responses in Nature, but as light-
regulated actuators they also provide the foundation for optogenetics, the non-invasive and …

Dimensionality reduction methods are usually applied on molecular dynamics simulations of
macromolecules for analysis and visualization purposes. It is normally desired that suitable …

Blue-light photoreceptors play a pivotal role in detecting the quality and quantity of light in
the environment, controlling a wide range of biological responses. Several families of blue …

Photoadaptation, the ability to attenuate a light response on prolonged light exposure while
remaining sensitive to escalating changes in light intensity, is essential for organisms to …
