2. UV light induced photochemical reactions Cells, their proteins and genes are sensitive to light. The vision process itself is initiated when photoreceptor cells are activated by light (photo-isomerization). …

Recently, a variety of light-sensitive protein domains have been engineered as optogenetic actuators to spatiotemporally control protein activity. In the present review, we discuss the principle of these …

When exposed to UV–visible light, proteins containing endogenous or exogenous chromophores can undergo direct and indirect photochemical processes, resulting in protein modifications including …

Jun 17, 2014 · To turn a protein into a light-responsive entity, one can rely either on a light-sensing molecule already present in the protein or on the addition of a light-sensitive module.

While there is a large body of knowledge concern-ing light-induced damage to proteins and the mechanisms of protein photodegradation, rela-tively little is known about how this affects the …

Apart from their intrinsic absorptivity, proteins will absorb UV light in proportion to their concentrations. This relationship has been exploited for the spectrophotometric determination of protein …

Apr 10, 2025 · various protocols have been reported for visible-light-induced thiol−ene reactions, most are based on high-energy blue light.9 Although it is an improvement compared to the UV-based …
