The biologically active far-red-absorbing form of the plant photoreceptor phytochrome, Pfr, was studied by femtosecond spectroscopy. The transient absorption changes that occurred upon excitation of Pfr at 730 nm with laser pulses of 150 fs were measured as a function of time at selected probe wavel...
