This paper resolves the mechanism of covalent bond formation in a LOV photoreceptor using time-resolved crystallography and spectroscopy, revealing a water-mediated proton transfer that accelerates the reaction by fourteen orders of magnitude.

The paper captures the release of a photopharmacological drug from tubulin using time-resolved serial crystallography and shows how ligand release triggers conformational changes.

The paper shows AAG associates with transcription elongation to coordinate DNA repair with gene expression, revealing roles of aberrantly methylated bases in gene regulation.
