Photoexcitation of the blue light using FAD photoreceptor AppA results in ultrafast changes to the protein matrix

Photoexcitation of the flavin chromophore in the BLUF photosensor AppA results in a conformational change that leads to photosensor activation. This conformational change is mediated by a hydrogen-bonding network that surrounds the flavin, and photoexcitation is known to result in changes in the net...
