FTIR difference and resonance raman spectroscopy of rhodopsins with applications to optogenetics

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Boston University === The major aim of this thesis is to investigate the molecular basis for the function of several types of rhodopsins with special emphasis on their application to the new field of optogenetics. Rhodopsins are transmembrane biophotonic proteins with 7 a-helices an...
