Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · history · refresh · how to use this template) I'm presently working on Cryptochrome with my advisor who discovered Cryptochrome and there is an error in this post. Cryptochrome's pterin co-factor does not donate an electron to flavin once it is excited by a photon. The pterin is merely excited and it transfers photon energy via FRET to the flavin. This process then initiates an electron transfer, but the electron does not come from the pterin. Just a minor, but for us, important detail because we're working on that electron pathway and presently have been publishing on the topic. Our labs latest paper on the topic is here, where you can read where I've gotten my conclusion from. Evidence of a Light-Sensing Role for Folate in Arabidopsis Cryptochrome Blue-Light Receptors authored by my co-workers, Nathalie Hoang, Jean-Pierre Bouly and Margaret Ahmad.

http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=EN_NEWS&ACTION=D&SESSION=&RCN=26320 The phrase: "κρυπτοσ χρομοσ (kruptos chromos)" must be replaced by the correct phrase "κρυπτό χρώμα (krypto chroma)". Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.152.97.177 (talk) 11:58, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
