"Light is important for the regulation of our body clock: blue light receptors in the eye communicate with the master clock within the brain and this then aligns with billions of other clocks in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Starfish blockers, exemplified by the newly identified ligand named methyl blue, exhibit unique ... strong response to ...

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 ...

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 ...
