Early Formation of the Ion-Conducting Pore in Channelrhodopsin-2
Channelrhhodopsin-2 (ChR2) is the key protein in optogenetics. In their new communication paper in Angewandte Chemie Peter Hegemann and coworkers elucidate channel opening at a molecular level by a combination of time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations.
