1 of 1Vivid (VVD) is a blue-light-sensing light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) protein from the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Upon illumination, its flavin cofactor forms a photoadduct that creates a stable light state, while VVD also exhibits light-dependent dimer-associated aggregation behavior and photosensitized self-oxidation.
