A dataset containing the wavelengths at an arbitrary nm interval and spectral absorbance for plant cryptochromes 1 (CRY1), 2 (CRY2), and 3 (CRY3 or CRY-DASH). Tabulated values for the in vitro absorbance spectrum for Arabidopsis thaliana. CRY1 data were digitized from figure 1, curve "dark" and curve "30 min illumination" in Zeugnwer et al. (2005). The CRY2 data were digitized from Figure 1.B, curve "dark adapted sample", and curve "irradiated with blue light (450 nm, 50 umol m-2 s-1) during 30 min" in Banerjee et al. (2007). CRY3 data were digitized from figure 2a, curve "cry3" in Song et al. (2006).
A filter_mspct with five member filter_spct objects each
with 300 rows and 2 numeric variables, w.length and A
The variables of the member spectra are as follows:
w.length (nm)
A (spectral absorbance)
