Updated structure of Drosophila cryptochrome [PDF]
Nature, 2013 Arising from B. D. Zoltowski et al. , 396–399 (2011)10.1038/nature10618 Recently, we determined the X-ray crystal structure of full-length cryptochrome from Drosophila1. Here we report an improved model of the Drosophila cryptochrome (dCRY) structure that corrects errors in the original coordinates (

Using Light to Improve Commercial Value [PDF]
, 2018 The plasticity of plant morphology has evolved to maximize reproductive fitness in response to prevailing environmental conditions. Leaf architecture elaborates to maximize light harvesting, while the transition to flowering can either be accelerated or ...

Reaction mechanism of Drosophila cryptochrome [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 Cryptochrome (CRY) is a blue-light sensitive flavoprotein that functions as the primary circadian photoreceptor in Drosophila melanogaster . The mechanism by which it transmits the light signal to the core clock circuitry is not known.

Interaction of two photoreceptors in the regulation of bacterial photosynthesis genes [PDF]
, 2012 The expression of photosynthesis genes in the facultatively photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is controlled by the oxygen tension and by light quantity. Two photoreceptor proteins, AppA and CryB, have been identified in the past, which are

UV Radiation in DNA Damage and Repair Involving DNA-Photolyases and Cryptochromes
Biomedicines, 2021 Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation on human skin can lead to mutations in DNA, photoaging, suppression of the immune system, and other damage up to skin cancer (melanoma, basal cell, and squamous cell carcinoma).
