Photoisomerization by Hula-twist. Photoactive biopigments*,†
A review of literature on photoisomerization of bilirubin and photoactive yellow protein suggests possible involvement of the volume-conserving Hula-twist (HT) reaction mechanism in their primary photochemical processes. Additional definitive experiments to verify their involvement are proposed. Information related to photoproducts of bacteriorhodopsin, rhodopsin, and phytochrome are reviewed. ...
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...
متن کاملAb initio excited-state dynamics of the photoactive yellow protein chromophore.
The photoisomerization mechanism of the neutral form of the photoactive yellow protein (PYP) chromophore is investigated using ab initio quantum chemistry and first-principles nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (ab initio multiple spawning or AIMS). We identify the nature of the two lowest-lying excited states, characterize the short-time behavior of molecules excited directly to S2, and explain t...
متن کاملSignal transduction in the photoactive yellow protein. II. Proton transfer initiates conformational changes.
Molecular dynamics simulation techniques, together with semiempirical PM3 calculations, have been used to investigate the effect of photoisomerization of the 4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid chromophore on the structural properties of the photoactive yellow protein (PYP) from Ectothiorodospira halophila. In this bacteria, exposure to blue light leads to a negative photoactic response. The calculations s...
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...
