title: Out of the blue: the photocycle of the photoactive yellow protein.
abstract: A first real glance at the structural, spectral and temporal interplay that constitutes the photocycle of the photoactive yellow protein (PYP) has been obtained from a combination of time-resolved crystallography with mutational analysis and spectroscopic studies.
