Controlling the activity of proteins with azobenzene photoswitches is a potent tool for
manipulating their biological function. With the help of light, it is possible to change binding …

Time resolved infrared spectroscopy of biological molecules has provided a wealth of
information relating to structural dynamics, conformational changes, solvation and …

Several ways to electronically synchronize different types of amplified femtosecond laser
systems are presented based on a single freely programmable electronics hardware …

While much is known about different allosteric regulation mechanisms, the nature of the
allosteric signal and the time scale on which it propagates remains elusive. The PDZ3 …

The cyanobacteriochrome Slr1393 can be photoconverted between a red (Pr) and green
absorbing form (Pg). The recently determined crystal structures of both states suggest a …

Cyanobacteriochromes are bistable photoreceptor proteins with desirable photochemical
properties for biotechnological applications, such as optogenetics or fluorescence …

The allosteric protein MCL-1 and its natural inhibitors, the BH3-only proteins PUMA, BIM,
and NOXA regulate apoptosis by interacting promiscuously within an entangled binding …

A large number of novel phytochromes named cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) have been
recently identified. CBCRs appear to be attractive for further in-depth studies as paradigms …

The phototriggered unbinding of the intrinsically disordered S-peptide from the RNase S
complex is studied with the help of transient IR spectroscopy, covering a wide range of time …

Cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) are small and versatile photoreceptor proteins with high
potential for biotechnological applications. Among them, the so-called DXCF-CBCRs exhibit …
