Re-introduction of transmembrane serine residues reduce the minimum pore diameter of channelrhodopsin-2.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Richards Ryan, Dempski Robert E

Abstract excerpt

Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) is a microbial-type rhodopsin found in the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Under physiological conditions, ChR2 is an inwardly rectifying cation channel that permeates a wide range of mono- and divalent cations. Although this protein shares a high sequence homology with other microbial-type rhodopsins, which are ion pumps, ChR2 is an ion channel. A sequence alignment of ChR2 with...
