Intramolecular photo-switching and intermolecular energy transfer as primary photoevents in photoreceptive processes: The case of Euglena gracilis

Publication Date:

abstract:
In this paper we report the results of measurements performed by FLIM on the photoreceptor of Euglena gracilis. This organelle consists of optically bistable proteins, characterized by two thermally stable isomeric forms: A(498). non fluorescent and B(462), fluorescent.
