Abstract excerpt
The photocycle of the light-activated channel, channelrhodopsin-2 C128T, has been studied by resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy focussing on the intermediates P380 and P353 that constitute a side pathway in the recovery of the parent state. The P353 species displays a UV-vis absorption spectrum with a fine-structure reminiscent of the reduced-retro form of bacteriorhodopsin, whereas the respective RR spectra...
