Glutamine "dancing" in LOV photoreceptors unearthed

The isomerization of a conserved glutamine residue along the early photocycle of 3 light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) domains is explored by quantum mechanics (QM) calculations, revealing infrared spectral shifts upon rotation in agreement with time-resolved experiments. Find out more here.
