Two‐component systems (TCS) constitute the predominant means by which prokaryotes
read out and adapt to their environment. Canonical TCSs comprise a sensor histidine kinase …

Dynamical changes in protein structures are essential for protein function and occur over
femtoseconds to seconds timescales. X‐ray free electron lasers have facilitated …

The rise of public and other non-recreational digital services is based on the idea of catering
to the daily needs of the citizens cost-efficiently and with ease. Previous research has …

Phytochromes are light sensor proteins found in plants, bacteria, and fungi. They function by
converting a photon absorption event into a conformational signal that propagates from the …

Bacterial phytochrome photoreceptors usually belong to two-component signaling systems
which transmit environmental stimuli to a response regulator through a histidine kinase …

Phytochromes are red-light photoreceptors discovered in plants with homologs in bacteria
and fungi that regulate a variety of physiological responses. They display a reversible …

Phytochromes are ubiquitous photosensor proteins, which control the growth, reproduction
and movement in plants, fungi and bacteria. Phytochromes switch between two …

Phytochrome proteins regulate many photoresponses of plants and microorganisms. Light
absorption causes isomerization of the biliverdin chromophore, which triggers a series of …

Highlights•Recent structural studies identify intramolecular signal propagation
