Crystal structure of the red light-activated channelrhodopsin Chrimson

Channelrhodopsins are light-activated ion channels that mediate cation permeation across cell membranes upon light absorption. Here, the authors report the crystal structure of the most red-shifted channelrhodopsin from the algae Chlamydomonas noctigama at 2.6 Å resolution.
