Red-shifting mutation of light-driven sodium-pump rhodopsin
Microbial rhodopsins are photoreceptive and widely used in optogenetics for which they should preferable function with longer-wavelength light. Here, authors achieve a 40-nm red-shift in the absorption wavelength of a sodium-pump rhodopsin (KR2) by altering the distribution of the retinal chromophor...

Summary: | Microbial rhodopsins are photoreceptive and widely used in optogenetics for which they should preferable function with longer-wavelength light. Here, authors achieve a 40-nm red-shift in the absorption wavelength of a sodium-pump rhodopsin (KR2) by altering the distribution of the retinal chromophore. |
