  1. Dihedral angles undergoing substantial change upon illumination are highlighted in bold.
  2. RMSD was calculated with Pymol Align using PDB entry 4XB5 as a target selection.
  3. Deposited dihedral angles for CAN-binding (PDB entry 4XB5), ECN-binding (5TUX), and 3′-hECN-binding (5UI2) OCPs are also included for comparison.
