Chromophores are light-absorbing molecular components that initiate photoreceptor activation. Explore their chemistry, spectral properties, photochemistry, and roles in phytochromes, cryptochromes, phototropins, UVR8, and animal opsins.
Light signaling is a complex biological system through which organisms detect different wavelengths of light and convert environmental information into changes in gene expression, development, metabolism, and physiology.
