Abstract
The plant protein phytochrome induces photoreversible conductance changes when added to a black lipid membrane made from oxidized cholesterol. The conductance of the phytochrome-modified membrane is increased by red-light illumination but is decreased by illumination with far-red light. Denatured phytochrome does not affect the conductance of the model membrane.Keywords
