Abstract

Light is an important environmental signal. An organism survives by its ability to adapt to the conditions of its environment; many organisms are known to respond to light and photoresponsive molecules are widespread in nature. The interaction of light with an enzyme is one of the possible means for biological systems to respond. Light may influence either an increase or decrease in enzyme activity; thus light affects the chemistry of the cell. These processes can be very complex (e.g., photomodulation of chloroplast enzymes) or they can be remarkably simple (e.g., photoactivation of urocanase). Reversion is an essential part of photomodulation.
