abstract：:Nogo-66 receptor (NgR1) is a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein that forms part of a signaling complex modulating axon regeneration. Previous studies have shown that the entire LRR region of NgR1, including the C-terminal cap of the LRR, LRRCT, is needed for ligand binding, and that the adjacent C-terminal region (CT s...

abstract：:Photoactive yellow proteins (PYPs) make up a diverse class of blue-light-absorbing bacterial photoreceptors. Electronic excitation of the p-coumaric acid chromophore covalently bound within PYP results in triphasic quenching kinetics; however, the molecular basis of this behavior remains unresolved. Here we explore th...
