Atomic structural details of a phytochrome protein, which is of central interest in understanding black rot disease

Caption

Atomic structural details of a phytochrome protein, taken from the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris, which is responsible for the photosensitivity, signal propagation and pathogenicity. The research team has resolved these details down to atomic scale resolution and has created models that allow a better understanding of black rot disease in crops.
