Arabidopsis thaliana possesses five different photoreceptors for red and far-red light, at least two different classes of proteins that serve as receptors for blue light and a poorly understood ...

When exposed to blue wavelengths of light, the melanopsin and G protein–coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) mediate the relaxation of the vessels. The combination of light and a GRK2 inhibitor resulted ...

Prime candidates include the cryptochromes, homologs of blue-light receptors in Arabidopsis and circadian photoreceptors in the Drosophila brain, and melanopsin. The latter is a member of the same ...

Two identical proteins (color coded light blue and red) associate to form a homodimer. C) Signal transduction. The ligand binds to a site in the extracellular domain of the receptor (not shown ...

A study with the involvement of the UAB presents a new efficient photopharmaceutical drug to treat psoriasis and reduce the adverse effects associated ...
