cryptochromes

Photolyases (PHLLs) are enzymes that mediate photoreactivation, a repair mechanism that removes UV-induced DNA damage. Most photolyases contain 2 chromophores: flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and a second, variable chromophore. Class I photolyases include microbial photolyases and several plant blue-light photoreceptors, in contrast to class II photolyases which have been found in higher eukaryotes.
