The pigments in photoreceptor proteins either change their conformation or undergo photoreduction when they absorb a photon. [3] This change in the conformation or redox state of the chromophore then affects the protein conformation or activity and triggers a signal transduction cascade. [3] Examples of photoreceptor pigments include: [4]
