abstract：:The bacteriophytochrome Agp1 was reconstituted with a locked 5Zs-biliverdin in which the C(4)=C(5) and C(5)-C(6) bonds of the methine bridge between rings A and B are fixed in the Z and syn configuration/conformation, respectively. In Agp1-5Zs the photoconversion proceeds via the Lumi-R intermediate to Meta-R(A), but ...
