Structural highlights
2o9b is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Deinococcus radiodurans. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
BPHY_DEIRA Photoreceptor which exists in two forms that are reversibly interconvertible by light: the R form that absorbs maximally in the red region of the spectrum and the FR form that absorbs maximally in the far-red region. Has also a slight blue shift for the far-red maximum. Could also absorb green light. May participate in regulating pigment synthesis like the carotenoid deinoxanthin which could protect the bacterium from intense visible light.
