Abstract excerpt
The viral rhodopsin 1 subfamily consists of microbial rhodopsins, such as VirChR1, with a light-gated cation channeling functionality, which is inhibited by calcium. For VirChR1, S14, E54, and N225 have been proposed as key residues for calcium binding. They form a highly conserved SEN-triad in channelrhodopsins near the functionally important central gate. Here, we present a time-resolved UV/vis spectroscopic...
