A Conclusive Mechanism of the Photoinduced Reaction Cascade in Blue Light Using Flavin Photoreceptors.

On the basis of extensive first-principle calculations within the framework of quantum mechanics/ molecular mechanics (QM/MM), a conclusive mechanism for the formation of the signaling state of blue light using flavin (BLUF) domain proteins is proposed which is compatible with the experimental data...
