phot1-LOV2

The second LOV domain of Arabidopsis phototropin 1 shows light-induced transient (30s) homo-dimerization between a ground state and an excited monomer (Nakasone et al. 2006). LOV2 is predominantly monomeric at concentrations below 100microM but turns dimeric above. Funnily, the high-conc. dimer state experiences photo-dissociation instead. Either the excitation follows a different course from the dimer starting state or the excitation event itself pushes the complex apart.
