A Second Photoactivatable State of the Anion-conducting channelrhodopsin GtACR1 empowers persistent activity
2025-03-17
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Optogenetics is a method to regulate cells using light. It is applied to study neurons and to develop diagnostic and therapeutic tools for neuron-related diseases. The cation-conducting channelrhodopsin ChR2 triggers photoinduced depolarization of neuronal cells but generates very low ion currents due to the <italic>syn</italic>-pathway of its branched photocycle. In contrast, the homol...
