Popis: Light switching of the activity of a coiled-coil protein, the AP-1 transcription factor, in living cells was made possible by the introduction of a designed azobenzene-cross-linked dominant negative peptide, XAFosW (red and yellow in the picture). In the dark, XAFosW showed decreased helical content and decreased affinity for target Jun proteins (green); irradiation at 365 nm enhanced helicity and target affinity.
