Molecular Mechanisms of Activation in the Orange Carotenoid Protein Revealed by Molecular Dynamics

[Image: see text] Light-harvesting in photosynthesis is accompanied by photoprotective processes. In cyanobacteria, the photoprotective role is played by a specialized complex, the orange carotenoid protein, which is activated by strong blue-green light. This photoactivation involves a unique series...
