Abstract excerpt
Krokinobacter eikastus rhodopsin 2 (KR2) is a light-driven pentameric sodium pump. Its ability to translocate cations other than protons and to create an electrochemical potential makes it an attractive optogenetic tool. Tailoring its ion-pumping characteristics by mutations is therefore of great interest. In addition, understanding the functional and structural consequences of certain mutations helps to derive a...
