Some bacteria have the remarkable capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia under
ambient conditions, a reaction only mimicked on an industrial scale by a chemical process …

Per-ARNT-Sim (PAS) domains serve as versatile sensor and interaction modules in signal
transduction proteins. PAS sensors detect chemical and physical stimuli and regulate the …

Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domains occur in proteins from all kingdoms of life. In the bacterial
kingdom, PAS domains are commonly positioned at the amino terminus of signaling proteins …

From cyanobacteria to mammals, organisms have evolved timing mechanisms to adapt to
environmental changes in order to optimize survival and improve fitness. To anticipate these …

The Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain is conserved across the kingdoms of life and found in an
ever-growing list of proteins. This domain can bind to and sense endogenous or xenobiotic …

Fluorescent reporter proteins such as green fluorescent protein are valuable noninvasive
molecular tools for in vivo real-time imaging of living specimens. However, their use is …

Methanotrophic bacteria oxidize methane to methanol in the first step of their metabolic
pathway. Two forms of methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzymes catalyze this reaction …

Plant response to drought and hyperosmosis is mediated by the phytohormone abscisic acid
(ABA), a sesquiterpene compound widely distributed in various embryophyte groups …

The photosensor YtvA binds flavin mononucleotide and regulates the general stress
reaction in Bacillus subtilis in response to blue light illumination. It belongs to the family of …

This review deals with the biophysical aspects of flavin‐based photosensors, comprising
cryptochromes, LOV (Light, Oxygen and Voltage) and BLUF (Blue Light sensing Using FAD) …
