متن کاملPhotoisomerization and photoionization of the photoactive yellow protein chromophore in solution.
Dispersed pump-dump-probe spectroscopy has the ability to characterize and identify the underlying ultrafast dynamical processes in complicated chemical and biological systems. This technique builds on traditional pump-probe techniques by exploring both ground- and excited-state dynamics and characterizing the connectivity between constituent transient states. We have used the dispersed pump-du...
متن کاملHydrogen bonds and proton transfer in the photoisomerization of Photoactive Yellow Protein
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is the protein responsible for the negative phototaxis of Halorhodospira halophila. The absorption of blue light of its chromophore, p-coumaric acid, triggers a photocycle in PYP, initiated by trans-cis isomerization of its chromophore. Pump-probe spectroscopy in the visible reveals that proline at position 68 is responsible for the high efficiency of isomerizat...
متن کاملConcerted motions in the photoactive yellow protein.
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed with the aim of identifying concerted backbone motions in the photoactive yellow protein. Application of the essential dynamics method revealed large, chromophore-linked fluctuations of the protein in the ground state, as well as in a form containing the isomerized chromophore. Various loops become more mobile upon isomerization of the chromoph...
متن کاملHydrogen Bonding Controls Excited-State Decay of the Photoactive Yellow Protein Chromophore
We have performed excited-state dynamics simulations of a Photoactive Yellow Protein chromophore analogue in water. The results of the simulations demonstrate that in water the chromophore predominantly undergoes single-bond photoisomerization, rather than double-bond photoisomerization. Despite opposite charge distributions in the chromophore, excited-state decay takes place very efficiently f...
