Microbial rhodopsins are a family of photoactive retinylidene proteins widespread
throughout the microbial world. They are notable for their diversity of function, using …

The first member and eponym of the rhodopsin family was identified in the 1930s as the
visual pigment of the rod photoreceptor cell in the animal retina. It was found to be a …

The naturally occurring channelrhodopsin variant anion channelrhodopsin-1 (ACR1),
discovered in the cryptophyte algae Guillardia theta, exhibits large light-gated anion …

Films based on chitosan (CS) and Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) essential oil (LEO)
were prepared that exhibited novel dose-dependent fluorescent patterns owing to …

Natural anion channelrhodopsins (ACRs) discovered in the cryptophyte alga Guillardia theta
generate large hyperpolarizing currents at membrane potentials above the Nernst …

Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are algal light-gated ion channels widely used as optogenetic
tools for manipulating neuronal activity. ChRs desensitize under continuous bright-light …

This is a review of relevant Raman spectroscopy (RS) techniques and their use in structural
biology, biophysics, cells, and tissues imaging towards development of various medical …

The anion channelrhodopsin Gt ACR1 from the alga Guillardia theta is a potent neuron-
inhibiting optogenetics tool. Presented here, its X-ray structure at 2.9 Å reveals a tunnel …

Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are light-gated ion channels and central optogenetic tools that
can control neuronal activity with high temporal resolution at the single-cell level. Although …

In organisms, ion transporters play essential roles in the generation and dissipation of ion
gradients across cell membranes. Microbial rhodopsins selectively transport cognate ions …
