Mode of action of protein channelrhodopsin-2 decoded: Findings facilitate manufacture of optogenetic tools

7 enero 2015

Researchers have shed light upon the mode of action of the light-controlled channelrhodopsin-2 with high spatiotemporal resolution. This biomolecule is used in optogenetic applications, which is deployed to control the activity of living cells with light. «The model we developed makes it possible to create customized optogenetic tools for individual applications,» says one researcher.
