New Model Could Bring Custom Optogenetics Proteins

Deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of a light-sensitive protein could lead to more specialized optogenetics techniques. Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum probed channelrhodopsin-2, which is already widely used in optogenetics experiments, using time-resolved Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.
