Shedding Light on Molecular Mechanism Responsible for Fluorescent and Dark States of Protein

Some organic substances have a property called photochromism, meaning that their absorption spectrum, or color, changes when they are exposed to certain types of light. In particular, a new artificial protein called Dronpa shows great promise for applications because it can be switched back and forth between a 'bright' state and a 'dark' state.
