Molecular Complex Essential For Vision Identified In Fungi

The results were published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by the team, which includes Prof. Luis M. Corrochano and Dr. Julio Rodríguez Romero, from the Department of Genetics of the University of Seville, Spain, in collaboration with colleagues from Duke University and the University of Missouri at Kansas City (USA), Glasgow University (UK), and the University of Salamanca (Spain). An international team of researchers has identified one of the protein components of a molecular complex that allows light reception in a laboratory **fungus**.
